Improving TCP Performance over Wireless Ad Hoc Networks with Busy Tone Assisted Scheme

<p>It is well known that transmission control protocol (TCP) performance degrades severely in IEEE 802.11-based wireless ad hoc networks. We first identify two critical issues leading to the TCP performance degradation: (1) unreliable broadcast, since broadcast frames are transmitted without t...
