Abstract
This paper suggests adjusting TCP for smartphones that often have small size data transmission tendency. Usage of smartphones has been risen dramatically in recent years, including frequent usage of real-time map search, public transportation search, online games, and SNS. Because the small size data transmission ends before the phase of the TCP congestion avoidance, this paper suggests an algorithm that increases the transmission speed ahead of the traffic congestion event. The algorithm reduces unnecessary delay by data size-driven adjustment of the Linux Quick ACK and Nagle's algorithm. Therefore, TCP is improved to maintain a high transmission rate steadily in small data transmission.
