Thus, TCP designed for wired networks, cannot achieve a satisfying performance in wireless networks. Utilizing a cross-layer mechanism to identify the course of packet loss, we have proved that a mobile-host-centric transport protocol (MCP) can achieve higher throughput than TCP Reno and New Reno in static wireless environment. In this paper, we extend the cross-layer feedback mechanism and con...展开更多
