Abstract :
Transmission control protocol (TCP) by IETF is one of the most widely used transport layer protocols in Internet. Much development and deployment activity has centered around GPRS, UMTS and IMT-2000, also referred to 2.5G/3G wireless networks. However, TCP has not been designed bearing in mind wireless networks. Especially, flow control features can perform less than optimally over wireless interfaces. A number of TCP optimization techniques have been studied to enhance the TCP performance for various wireless environments. This paper proposes a profile of such techniques, particularly effective for to 2.5G/3G wireless networks
