A modified New Reno for performance enhancement of TCP in wireless network

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the dominant transport protocol in the Internet and supports many of the most popular Internet applications, such as the World Wide Web (www), file transfer and e-mail. TCP assumes congestion which is the primary cause of packet loss and uses congestion control mechanisms such as Tahoe, Reno and New Reno to overcome this congestion in wireless network. These TCP variants take longer time to detect and recover packet loss. In order to improve retransmission scheme, we propose a modified version of New Reno that shows better performance than previous TCP variants because of utilizing faster retransmission scheme as well as transferring more packets to the destination.
