Abstract

TCP applied to the wireless-wired integrated network is the one that was applied to the existing wired network. In the wireless-wired integrated network, both wireless and congestion loss can occur. When wireless packet losses occur, the congestion control of TCP causes performance degradation by reducing its transmission rate. In this paper, we propose the algorithm to distinguish the wireless packet loss from congestion packet loss using MIB of the 802.11 MAC which has been generally used recently in wireless links.
