TCP for wireless network

Abstract

Video transmitted over error prone channel is always subject to packet losses. One way, how to deal with this problem is using connection-oriented, end-to-end reliable protocol. In this paper we focused on several implementations of transmission control protocol, which fulfill the conditions for reliable delivery of information. Tahoe, Reno and New Reno implementation supported by TCP are part of congestion avoidance mechanisms of the protocol suite. The main difference between them is mechanism of detection and reaction on the packet loss. Thus we have tried to evaluate their performance.
