- 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...

- Cross-Layer Architecture for Adaptive Video Multicast Streaming Over Multirate Wireless LANs
- Multicast video streaming over multirate wireless LANs imposes strong demands on video codecs and the underlying network. It is not sufficient that only the video codec or only the underlying protocols adapt to changes in the wireless link quality. Research efforts should be applied in both and in a synchronized...

- Multiple Layer Error Control Over Wireless Links
- This paper compares the wireless performance of TCP with or without selective acknowledgments and in the presence or absence of a reliable link layer protocol, in order to determine whether link layer error control remains beneficial for TCP variants with improved error recovery capabilities, such as TCP SACK. The paper...

- A Comparison of Mechanisms for Improving TCP Performance Over Wireless Links
- Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless and other lossy links also suffer from significant losses due to bit errors and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by invoking congestion control...

- Making Retransmission Delays in Wireless Links Friendlier to TCP
- Heterogeneous communication networks with their variety of application demands, uncertain time-varying traffic load, and mixture of wired and wireless links pose several challenging problem in modeling and control. This paper focuses on the packet delay, which is a particularly important variable for efficient end-to-end congestion control. In particular, the paper...

- TCP Westwood: Bandwidth Estimation for Enhanced Transport Over Wireless Links
- TCP Westwood TCPW is a sender-side modification of the TCP congestion window algorithm that improves upon the performance of TCP Reno in wired as well as wireless networks. The improvement is most significant in wireless networks with lossy links, since TCP Westwood relies on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to discriminate the...

- Joint Congestion Control and OFDMA Scheduling for Hybrid Wireline-Wireless Networks
- This paper considers joint congestion control and multiuser scheduling in a hybrid wireline and wireless network, where the air interface of wireless links is based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing OFDM. For static channels, the paper formulates this cross-layer design as a Network Utility Maximization NUM problem with both wireline...

- Performance Measurement of 802.11a Wireless Links From UAV to Ground Nodes With Various Antenna Orientations
- This paper reports measured performance of 802.11a wireless links from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle UAV to ground stations. In a set of field experiments, it records the Received Signal Strength Indicator RSSI and measure the raw link-layer throughput for various antenna orientations, communication distances and ground-station elevations. By comparing the...

- Modeling TCP Throughput Over Wired/Wireless Heterogeneous Networks for Receiver-Based ACK Splitting Mechanism
- Recently, heterogeneous networks with wired and wireless links are becoming common. However, the performance of TCP data transmission deteriorates significantly over such networks because of packet losses caused by the high bit error rate of wireless links. The paper had proposed receiver-based ACK splitting mechanism to solve that problem previously....

- Performance Analysis and Optimization of TCP Over Adaptive Wireless Links
- This paper proposes an analytical framework for performance evaluation of TCP Transport Control Protocol over adaptive wireless links. Specifically, it includes adaptation of power, modulation format and error recovery strategy, and incorporate some features of wireless fading channels. This framework is then used to pursue joint optimization through maximization of...
