Abstract :
Traditional TCP (end-to-end communication) implementations are tuned to work well over wired networks. A packet loss is occurred in a wired network mainly due to network congestion. On the other hand in a wireless link a large portion of packet losses are caused mainly due to propagation errors (causes bit errors), resultant from noise, interference, and various kinds of fading. TCP has no idea whether a packet loss is caused by congestion or bit error. Inclusion of forward error correction (FEC) at TCP level recovers these bit errors.
