During many years of extensive use in inter-networks, all weak-points of TCP are discovered and tuned, so that it performs very well in traditional network (wired network). However, inter-networks growth explosively and may consist of networks with wireless links characterized by high and sporadic bit error rate and intermittent connectivity due to handoff. TCP performance is degraded severely in such networks. Many studies have been carrying out to improve the performance of TCP in networks with wireless links. Some solutions are proposed and implemented. This paper presents four main issues: Congestion avoidance and control mechanisms implemented in traditional TCP protocol; Step-by-step enhancements in traditional TCP; Characteristics of wireless links degrade TCP performance severely; and mechanisms to enhance TCP performance over network with wireless links. date: 2002 date_type: published full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Computer Science and Cybernetics number: 2 pagerange: 187-200 refereed: TRUE issn: 1813-9663 citation: Nguyen, Dinh Viet (2002) TCP Enhancements and Performance over Networks with Wireless Links.
