ABSTRACT
The congestion control mechanism in TCP introduces idle transmit periods as a result of its small transmission window and exponential retransmission timer. This behavior occurs while recovering from packet losses, due to wireless LAN link errors. Therefore, TCP suffers from low throughput due to poor utilization of the available bandwidth, while recovering from high bit error rates. TCP Noor`s Aggressive Error Recovery (AER) avoids the idle transmit periods while recovering from high Bit Error Rates (BER). Enhanced AER (EAER) applies further enhancement to AER which provides higher averaged Throughput during variable bit error rates on the channel. EAER applies a dynamic mechanism, which allows TCP`s transmission behavior to adjust based on the channel conditions. Simulation results indicate that TCP Noor`s EAER gains up to two 250% increase in throughput over TCP Reno while recovering from variable bit error rates.
