Abstract
Wireless networking is a relatively new technology that is rapidly replacing conventional
wired network infrastructure. Whilst wireless technology has dramatically increased
the portability of computer networks, it has come with a performance cost. There
are inherent problems due to the nature of wireless transmission and to the imperfect
implementation of the Transmission Control Protocol for non-wired networks.
For a great portion of the development of the TCP protocol, wired networks were
the de facto networking standard. As a result, the TCP protocol’s algorithms and
parameters have been optimised to suit wired networks and the implementation for
wireless networks is far from perfect. A considerable improvement in performance may
be possible if the parameters / algorithms of the TCP protocol are modified in a way
that better suits the nature of wireless networks.
