Improving end-to-end performance of transmission control protocol (TCP) using link layer retransmissions over mobile internetworks

TCP does not perform well in networks with high packet error rate like those with wireless links because TCP assumes network congestion to be the major cause for packet losses. Wireless losses make TCP unnecessarily initiate congestion control mechanism which results in poor performance in the fo...
