....TCP on the fixed host. The protocol does not change TCP on the base station. 3.3.2. 2 Multiple Acknowledgements The Multiple Acknowledgments protocol modifies TCP on the base station and partially acknowledges a packet that is experiencing difficulty on the wireless link and retransmits it [5]. 3.3.2.2.1 Protocol Definitions Ackp: Partial acknowledgment with sequence number N( informs the sender that the base station has received the packet(s) with sequence numbers up to Na 1. Ackc: Complete acknowledgement that has the same semantics as the normal TCP acknowledgement. RTT: ....

....can identify these packets (these packets have sequence numbers between the last Ackc and N( 1) and retransmit them. The sender must update RTO to give more time to the base station to accomplish the retransmissions and RTT will be updated when either Ackp or Ackc is received for a packet [5]. Receiving Ack means that the receiver got the packet [5] The base station: o Data received: On receiving a new packet in the normal TCP sequence, the base station buffers the packet, put a timestamp on it, set the timer RTOB and tries to forward it to the mobile host. If RTO expires then the ....

.... di erences in both network characteristics (mainly higher error rates and connectivity disruptions) and end system characteristics (mainly constrained resources, frequently power economy requirements) Although one can nd several suggestions for such an infrastructure in recent literature (e.g. [5 8,10,11,19,38]) which all improve the quality of wireless Internet access, we think that an appropriate solution is still missing. From the application point of view Internet access means access to the services of the Internet protocol This work was partially supported by Deutsche Telekom Berkom in the ....

....from protocol processing. We will follow these criteria in our discussion of possible approaches after we have shortly summarized the known drawbacks of the original TCP over wireless links. The considered approaches might be classi ed as: TCP add ons (e.g. SACK [28] ECN [18] partial ACK [8,33]) Split connection approaches (I TCP [6] M TCP [19] Protocol Boosters [17] Snoop [5] In the following we will shortly point out how the main extensions to the above mentioned desktop approaches alleviate the problems. Pure TCP If pure TCP is used for wireless Internet access, then the ....

....overview of the splitconnection [6, 7, 8, 9, 11] approaches to solving the problem and have discussed their merits and drawbacks. Sections 4 and 5 talk about the TCP aware [12, 13, 14, 15] and TCP unaware [16] approaches respectively. Section 6 summarizes various Explicit Notification mechanisms [18, 5, 19]. In Sections 7 and 8, we discuss generic approaches that distinguish between congestion losses and transmission losses by using two connections [20] and receiver based heuristics [21] respectively. Section 9 handles a link layer mechanism [22] to improving TCP performance. We then move on to ....

....acknowledgements. Variations to this scheme include local buffering and re transmission by the base station. This is similar to the approach in snoop protocol discussed earlier. 6.3. Multiple Acknowledgements: TCP over Wireless using Multiple Acknowledgements is a solution proposed by Biaz et al. [19] for improving the TCP performance in heterogeneous networks by making the TCP layer aware of high bit error rates on wireless link and reducing the load on the wired network. The protocol distinguishes the losses on the wired portion from the losses on the wireless link by using two types of ....

....whether the packet is lost or is still in transit. Thus ensures retransmission of lost packets only. 3. 4 TCP over Wireless Networks using Multiple Acknowledgments This is an end to end protocol that distinguishes the losses due to congestion on the wired link from those on the wireless link [6]. The motivation behind the approach is to combine the explicit notification schemes, end to end semantics, and link level retransmission into a TCP like protocol that handles a large spectrum of bit error rates. That is why the protocol is based on a number of existing solution techniques. The ....

....supporting such discrimination e.g. Explicit Packet Loss Notification are being considered A lot of research has been already done as to remove this performance problem with TCP. The considered approaches might be classified as: TCP add ons (e.g. SACK [37] ECN [28] partial ACK [47] [11]) The idea behind TCP add ons is to introduce mechanisms that improve TCP performance over wireless links by allowing TCP to distinguish between losses due to congestion and bit errors, or to extend TCP s error recovery mechanisms to be able to repair multiple losses in a single window (SACK) ....
