Summary :

High-speed wireless access technologies have evolved over the last years setting new challenges for TCP. That is, to effectively utilize the available network resources and to minimize the effects of wireless channel errors on TCP performance. This paper introduces a new TCP variant, called TCP-BIAD aiming at enhancing TCP performance in broadband wireless access networks. We provide analytical expressions for evaluating the stability, throughput, fairness and friendliness properties of our proposal, and we validate our results by means of computer simulations. Initial results presented in this paper show that this approach achieves high network utilization levels in a wide range of network conditions, while maintaining an adequately fair and friendly behavior with respect to coexisting TCP flows.
