RECEIVER-BASED METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR CONTROLLING TCP SENDER BEHAVIOR IN MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS WITH LARGE BUFFER SIZES

摘要

Receiver-based methods for controlling TCP sender behavior in cellular communications networks with large buffer sizes are disclosed. One method includes, at a TCP receiver, receiving packets from a TCP sender. The method further includes determining, based on the packets, a minimum round trip time and a moving average round trip time for cellular network carrying the packets between a TCP sender and a TCP receiver. The method further includes adaptably adjusting a received window size to advertise to the TCP sender based on the minimum round trip time and the moving average round trip time. The method further includes advertising the adjusted received window sizes to the TCP sender.
