Improving TCP Performance Over Wireless Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Due to tremendous growth of Wireless internet users there is a need of efficient mechanisms and protocols which integrate the wireless networks with wired internet in such way that existing infrastructure of wired internet and same quality of services can be available to wireless connected users. A reliable data transfer protocol, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) was developed by keeping in view all characteristics of wired network. Wireless network has very different characteristics as compare to wired network which causes the TCP inefficient performance over heterogeneous environment of wired and wireless network.
