Abstract :
In wireless communication networks, TCP is a widely applied solution as it guarantees the delivery of data by implementing acknowledgement based techniques and used in wired networks as it ensures guard against the common remedy congestion in networks. Deploying TCP over wireless networks, restrictions such as random link errors, random packet loss, node distance, constantly changing topology are taken in account. Many solutions exist for the performance analysis in different environments and picking the suitable one in required environment. The afore-mentioned variants of TCP are revived.
