Abstract

We investigate the performance of TCP Tahoe and NewReno on wireless links with a FEC/ARQ protocol at the link layer. The effect of link layer (LL) parameters like the LL packet size, number of LL transmission attempts, and FEC code rate on the TCP throughput is evaluated. It is shown that the retransmissions at the link layer must persist long enough to outlast the average bad state duration of the Rayleigh fading process in order to achieve performance better than TCP without an ARQ at the link layer. It is further shown that with a suitable link layer in place, TCP Tahoe offers as high a throughput as offered by other enhanced versions like NewReno in the considered wireless environment.
