TCP Variants for Mobile Adhoc Networks: Challenges and Solutions

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides connection oriented and reliable transport layer services. Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) are autonomous and infrastructure less wireless networks. A significant amount of performance degradation is found when TCP is used with the MANETs as compared to the wired networks. TCP suits well with the wired networks, where majority of the packet losses are due to network congestion. MANETs have various...
