Reliable stream transmission protocols in mobile computing environments

摘要

The popularity and usefulness of the internet seem to grow exponentially every day. As result of this rapid growth, mobile users expect to access the internet's influrma- Tion resources and to communicate with other internet users. However, providing Efficient and reliable stream transmissions in mobile computing environments pre- Sents a significant obstacle to the development of mobile computing systems over The internet. This paper presents three approaches- known as fast retransmissions, Data interceptions, and packet interceptions-that can be used to improve the per- Formance and reliability of transmission protocols in mobile computing enviorn- Ments.
