Two error control schemes for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connectio
n on a wireless network are proposed that can minimize the degradation in r
adio link throughput due to retransmission. One scheme is based on the disc
ard of TCP retransmission packets, and the other is based on the suppressio
n of transmission delay fluctuation. Simulation results show that the degra
dation in throughput is reduced by 7.2% by using each proposal scheme when
the frame error rate is 10e-3.
