- TCP With Header Checksum Option for Wireless Links: An Analytical Approach Towards performance evaluation
- TCP performs poorly in wireless mobile networks due to large bit error rates. Basically, the TCP sender responds to these losses as if they were due to congestion in the network, and reduces the congestion window unnecessarily. In earlier work, it has been shown that adding a TCP header checksum...

- performance evaluation of TCP Over Wireless Channel Conditions
- The rise of IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks WLANs is challenging the original design of TCP. The wireless channel is very different to traditional copper media; wireless channels possess significantly higher Bit Error Rates BERs, conditions which lead to increased numbers of random packet losses. The fundamental problem is...
