On the performance of TCP over a TDD-TD/CDMA architecture

This paper determines the performance of TCP when it is employed over a TDD-TD/CDMA architecture which supports different classes of subscribers and adopts an interference-driven admission control policy. The call blocking of the system users is evaluated as well as the TCP throughput that data users experience. This work further shows that when TCP is taken into account, many options come out for the system design in order to optimize radio resources. Furthermore, we show that the TDD system can satisfyingly cope with remarkable traffic loads but a careful tuning of the wireless system is necessary.
