| Summary: | Recent growth of the Internet has led to the development of Internet services
everywhere and over every possible communications medium. Here, Low Earth
Orbit (LEO) Satellite has been addressed as a medium for supporting services based
on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
Basically, TCP was proposed as a common transport protocol for the Internet. The
TCP mechanisms have been modified overtime and almost standardized for wired
networks. However, for wireless communications still further modifications are
needed for TCP mechanisms. Particularly, in this study an Enhanced Selective
Acknowledgement (ESACK) mechanism has been proposed to improve the
performance of TCP over LEO satellite links. The ESACK detects the network
congestion and adjusts the transmission window by considering losses in two
consecutive windows. |
