Improving TCP Performance over 3G Links with an ACK Rate Control Algorithm
2006
2006 3rd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems
When TCP is carried over 3G cellular links, the characteristics of wireless channel and error recovey mechanisms cause overbuffering and buffer overflow at the RLC layer, degrading end-to-end performance. We propose and evaluate an algorithm that improves TCP goodput while reducing the delay. This algorithm is implemented at the RLC layer of the network side and consists of adjusting the inder-departure time of the acknowledgements (ACK) in the uplink direction, according to the congestion
