Abstract

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve TCP performance over wireless links. TCP is known to have poor performance over wireless links because TCP has no mechanism to differentiate congestion loss from wireless loss, and treats all losses as congestive. We present a simple method to determine the cause of packet loss using the successive ECN. In addition, we present an algorithm to control the congestion window size based on the estimated queue state in order to guarantee the fairness and high link utilization.
