....However, as TCP in I TCP is not tuned for wireless links, it often leads to timeouts eventually causing stalls on the wired side and poor link utilization. Then there are other schemes for improving TCP performance that make use of some sort of early warning signals. For example, Freeze TCP [25] uses a proactive scheme in which a mobile host detects signal degradation and sends a Zero Window Probe (ZWP) The warning period the time before which actual degradation occurs should be sucient for the ZWP to reach the sender so that it can freeze its window. A drawback here is the ....

Relatively, very less research has been done in the past in the area of inter layer collaboration. Some approaches like Freeze TCP [Gof00] and Fast retransmits [Cac95] use cross layer signaling to certain extent. Our argument in favor of inter layer collaboration is that the factors that cause performance degradation of a TCP based application do not stem from any single layer.

Most of the work to improve TCP performance (see, 25] 30] 26] 27] 28] [29]) have elided the problem of excess buffering at the base station (BS) or a proxy. This is quite understandable since work here is based on earlier research results on wireless LANs [25] which show different link traits (of course lower RTTs and higher bandwidths) when compared to cellular ....

....window size, which leads to TCP throughput degradation. Prior research shows that the effect can be mitigated by splitting the TCP connection[ITCP] by making link layer TCP aware[SNOOP] by making the TCP sender not react to non congestion losses[ELN] or by freezing TCP during bad channel state [FREEZETCP]. However, a related problem little addressed so far is TCP retransmission timeout (RTO) backoff. In TCP, repeated losses of the same segment force the RTO to be exponentially inflated. In other words, the gap between the successive retransmission attempts doubles every backoff. In wireless ....

Also in the same vein, we do not require the datalink layer retransmission support as in [RLP] Also for feasibility, we do not require changes on legacy TCP implementations on wireline side[FREEZETCP]. For instance, we avoid requiring wireline side TCP to bound RTO to a small value or to change the backoff ratio to less than 2 [SHORTRTO] Furthermore, modifying RTO backoff itself is undesirable since it potentially undermines its role as a congestion control measure. To avoid interfering with ....

....congestion window and the timeout mechanism appropriately. The regular course of action of most approaches is to shrink the congestion window and extend the timeout period due to congestion, or freeze the window and timeout upon drops due to non congestion errors. Along these lines, Goff ## ### [20] discuss a modification to avoid degrading performance due to handoffs. Freeze TCP avoids timeouts at the sender during handoffs since a timeout shrinks the sending window to a minimum in all TCP versions. To this end, Freeze TCP exploits the ability of the receiver to advertise a window of zero. ....
