Abstract
TCP's congestion control handless packet loss due to congestion in the network. Over wireless links, packet loss may also be due to signal fading. Wireless 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 threshold 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) and call the new TCP version as TCP Noor.
