SCTP with Explicit Freeze and Melt Notification for Delay Tolerant Applications

摘要

In this letter, for offloading traffic to Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) with transport layer mobility where WLAN service is intermittently available, we propose a novel scheme to freeze and melt the timeout handling procedure of SCTP. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the performance in terms of file transfer completion time.
