Adapting TCP Segment Size in Cellular Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview In cellular networks, a frame size is generally made small to reduce the impact of errors. Thus, a segment of transport layer is splitted into multiple frames before transmission. A problem is that the whole segment is lost when a frame of a segment is lost. So, the segment error rate tends to be high even though the cellular network provides relatively the low frame error rate, which drops TCP performance. However, the relation between the frame size, the segment size and the error rate has not been closely investigated. This paper analyzes the impact of the segment size on TCP performance in cellular networks and proposes a scheme alleviating the performance drop of TCP.

Peter Cochrane’s Uncommon Sense: Nature and engineering

She works at atomic, molecular, cellular and reproductive levels, with evolution taking a very slow hand in generation-by-generation change. Through a slow trial and error evolutionary process she has created life forms that are stable and well...

Quocirca's Straight Talking... 3G remote access

Cellular networks with their longer transmission reach and therefore larger cell sizes (areas of coverage around base stations) can penetrate into such places OK. While this initial prioritisation of coverage is understandable, there is a big gap...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
