Mechanisms to improve the transmission control protocol performance in wireless networks
First Claim
1. A system for increasing the rate at which a transmission control protocol (“
- TCP”
) congestion window opens in a network, said system comprising;
a TCP server in communication with a TCP client using TCP protocols that use client acknowledgements, anda device located between the TCP server and the TCP client and adapted to derive one or more client acknowledgements from a single acknowledgement flowing between the TCP server and the TCP client, and to transmit all the derived client acknowledgements into the network and wherein said device defines a duty cycle for enabling and disabling the derivation of client acknowledgements.

Abstract
A system located on either side of a wireless network for reducing the amount of collisions in the wireless network comprises a TCP server in communication with a TCP client using TCP protocols that use client acknowledgements, and an acknowledgement-summarizing device adapted to summarize at least one client acknowledgement from the TCP protocols in a summarizing acknowledgement, and to transmit the summarizing acknowledgement into the wireless network. The acknowledgement-summarizing device may be replaced or combined with an acknowledgement-aggregating device located on either side of the wireless network and adapted to aggregate one or more client acknowledgements from the TCP protocols into an encoded packet and to transmit the encoded packet into the wireless network.

7. A method for increasing the rate at which a TCP congestion window opens in a network, said method comprising:
-
intercepting traffic between a TCP server in communication with a TCP client using TCP protocols that use client acknowledgements, identifying client acknowledgements from the TCP protocols, deriving one or more client acknowledgements from the TCP protocols from a single acknowledgement flowing between the TCP server and TCP client, defining a duty cycle for enabling and disabling the derivation of client acknowledgements, and transmitting all the derived client acknowledgements into the network. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
