Performance Improvement in TCP

Abstract

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the most popular transport layer communication protocol for the Internet.It was originally designed for wired networks, where Bit Error Rate (BER) is low and congestion is the primary cause of packet loss [1].This article analyzes the issues in TCP, such as slow start, congestion control, collisions, low BER etc. Then it provides systematic analysis the issues regarding to wireless network i.e., Head of Line Blocking. At the end it proposes solution forTCP enhancement specific to wireless network.
