Abstract
TCP's congestion control handless packet loss due to congestion in the netw ork. Over wireless links, packet loss may also be due to signal fading. Wir eless LAN traffic under High Bit Error rate (BER) suffers great throughput degradation due to the current congestion control mechanism. Our algorithm allows TCP to send as much data as possible within a threshol d that optimizes throughput while recovering from a high BER on a wireless LAN link. We will refer to the error recovery mechanism as Aggressive Error Recovery (AER) End call the new TCP version as TCP Noor.
