Aggregate AP throughputs for long file transfers in a WLAN controlled by inhomogeneous TCP connections

Performance analysis of TCP-controlled long file transfers in a WLAN in infrastructure mode is available in the literature with one of the main assumptions being equal window size for all TCP connections. In this paper, we extend the analysis to TCP-controlled long file uploads and downloads with different TCP windows. Our approach is based on the semi-Markov process considered in and, but with arbitrary window sizes. We present simulation results to show the accuracy of the analytical model.
