Cross-layer analysis of wireless TCP/ARQ systems over correlated channels

We provide the cross-layer analysis of wireless TCP systems. The effect of error correlation on the behavior of link retransmission strategy and the end-to-end throughput of TCP layer are investigated. Based on the cross-layer analysis, a refinement of link layer protocol is proposed by consciously utilizing the information of channel correlations, which leads to the performance improvement of wireless TCP systems.
