Study of Techniques to Improve the Performance of TCP in Wireless Network

Abstract

There have been many schemes proposed to improve the performance of the TCP over network that have high BER wireless link. In this paper, we compare two techniques designed to improve the performance of TCP in such networks, that have been proposed and simulated by various authors and we give analytical reviews on these proposals. These schemes are link layer protocol that provides local reliability; and split connection protocol, that break the end to end connection into two parts at the base station.
