Abstract
Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to Perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mainly because of congestion. In a wireless network, however, packet losses will occur more often due to reasons such as the high bit error rate and the handoff rather than due to congestion. When using TCP over wireless network, TCP responds to losses due to the high bit error rate and the handoff by invoking congestion control and avoidance algorithms, resulting in the degraded end-to-end performance in the wireless network. There have been several schemes for improving TCP performance over wireless links. Among them, SNOOP Is a very promising scheme because of the localized retransmission. In this thesis, an efficient scheme is proposed by modifying SNOOP scheme. The invocation of congestion control mechanism is now minimized by knowing the cause of packet loss.
