Abstract

TCP is the most transport protocol used in Internet. Today, there is an increasing demand for high-throughput wireless data transmission. In wireless communication mode, TCP doesn´t provide a high-throughput due to the difficulty in making a difference between congeTCP is the most transport protocol used in internet. Today, there is an increasing demand for high-throughput wireless data transmission. In wireless communication mode, TCP doesn´t provide a high-throughput due to the difficulty in making a difference between congestion problem and error transmission caused by collision, lost of route or link error. In this paper, we propose the MAC waiting time as a parameter that will help TCP to differentiate losses and to improve its performance.stion problem and error transmission caused by collision, lost of route or link error. In this paper, we propose the MAC waiting time as a parameter that will help TCP to differentiate losses and to improve its performance.
