Systematic Measurement of TCP Performance over Wireless LANs

چکیده
One challenge in the development of telecommunication networks is the seamless integration of wireless devices into the global Internet. Although it is well known that a wireless end-system suffers from the characteristics of the wireless link systematic measurements are still missing. In this paper we present results of a systematic measurement of TCP performance over wireless LANs. In this measurement we investigated location dependent throughput of a whole wireless radio cell. We used pre 802.11 compatible wireless LAN technologies with link layer error control and without.

متن کاملEFR: A Retransmit Scheme for TCP in Wireless LANs
In this paper, we propose a new, e cient, fast retransmission scheme for wireless LANs. Wireless LANs are becoming popular and providing an e cient protocol over a wireless link is important. In our experiments with 2.4 GHz WaveLAN, the poor TCP performance observed was attributed to frequent expiration of the retransmission timer. To avoid unnecessary expiration of the retransmission timer, we...
