....to solve mobility and wireless related problems that affect transport layer performance in a mobile environment. We also describe some of the desirable features that a transport protocol specially developed for mobile hosts should have. 4.6. 1 Comparison with existing schemes Thinwire protocols [29] and TCP header compression [45] can help in improving the response time of interactive applications such as telnet on low speed links. However, these solutions do not deal with host mobility. Link layer retransmission (LLR) can be used on error prone wireless links to bring their error rate on ....

....and or mobile environment. 8. 1 Networking over Low Bandwidth Links One of the earliest attempts to design protocols for an environment where a low bandwidth (e.g. serial) link connects an end system (host machine) to a relatively high speed network was the proposal on thinwire protocols [29]. Among the three protocols suggested in that proposal, Thinwire III is remarkably similar in spirit to the indirect protocols presented in this dissertation, with the following important differences i) host mobility was not an issue then and ii) there is no provision in thinwire protocols for ....

....and performance. As of this writing there is active work in all these areas. This memo describes a method that has been used to improve TCP IP performance over low speed (300 to 19,200 bps) serial links. The compression proposed here is similar in spirit to the Thinwire II protocol described in [5]. However, this protocol compresses more effectively (the average compressed header is 3 bytes compared to 13 in Thinwire II) and is both efficient and simple to implement (the Unix implementation is 250 lines of C and requires, on the average, 90s (170 instructions) for a 20MHz MC68020 to ....

....and seeds it with the first, uncompressed packet of a compressed packet sequence. The framer is responsible for communicating the packet data, type and boundary (so the decompressor can learn how many bytes came out of the compressor) Since the 8 This is approximately Thinwire I from [5]. A slight modification is to do a delta encoding where the sender subtracts the previous packet from the current packet (treating each packet as an array of 16 bit integers) then sends a 20 bit mask indicating the non zero differences followed by those differences. If distinct conversations ....

....performance gain, Section 5 discusses algorithm overhead and Section 6 gives concluding remarks. 2 Related Work Several types of non proprietary header compression have been discussed in the Internet community. Some of the earliest are the Thinnet protocols. Thinnet is proposed in RFC 914 [3] and consists of three schemes employing varying degrees of complexity. Thinnet is described for TCP, UDP, and TP4. However, it is a general scheme that can be applied to any new protocol that arises. Mathur and Lewis present another algorithm for compression of Novell IPX headers [6] Most ....

....as follows. 2.1 Solutions for Slow and Lossy Links Problems related to the unreliable nature of wireless media are somewhat similar to the ones which surfaced in the early eighties when telephone and serial lines were used to connect personal computers to the Internet. Thinwire protocols[7] attempted to alleviate some of those problems. Header compression[11] for TCP connections was suggested for improving the response time of interactive applications such as telnet on low speed links. Although these solutions are applicable to some extent to wireless links, they do not deal with ....
