Abstract: Long-Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) is a new mobile radio standard of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) that uses orthogonal frequency division multiple access for the downlink and single carrier frequency division multiple access for the uplink. To relay nodes, LTE-A uses carrier aggregation aside from short delay time addition. This review attempts to shed some light on reviews and analyses performed on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) behavior over LTE/LTE-A to encourage researchers to contribute to this area. In particular, systematic models of various types of TCP are implemented and compared with the proposed SCTP protocol model. Given its high-rate data stream, LTE-A is considered the fourth generation of wireless mobile technology. A built-up visual diagram has highlighted LTE-A as a gene technology addendum enhanced version of LTE which is operated by frequency division duplex and time division duplex carriers. Nevertheless, multiple input and multiple output technologies have been presented and focused on the transport layer and protocols working underneath it. We conducted an in-depth review of the LTE-A features and how the TCP works on LTE/LTE-A. The strengths and weaknesses of two systematic models, namely, TCP and SCTP, are provided. Both systematic models are implemented to evaluate the performance of the protocols which highlighted the exchange process in congested environments. TCP seems to be in the middle of a crisis, especially with the development and growth of new wireless technologies, such as LTE-A. As such, this study proposed the use of the SCTP protocol because of its impressive architecture and unique functionalities.
