Abstract:
The behaviour of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which
assumes that network congestion is the primary cause for packet loss
and high delay, can lead to inefficient use of a cellular network's
resources and degrade application performance. The root cause for
this inefficiency is that TCP has difficulty adapting to the rapidly
varying network conditions. In cellular networks, the bandwidth
available for end devices can vary by an order of magnitude over a
few seconds due to changes in the underlying radio channel
conditions, as devices move, as well as changes in system load as
other devices enter and leave the network.
This document proposes a mechanism and protocol elements that can be
used to assist TCP in cellular networks, ensuring high utilization
and high service delivery performance.
The document describes the applicability of the proposed mechanism
for video delivery over cellular networks; it also presents test
results.
