Abstract
A method that addresses a cross layer optimization technique for TCP in which the need to send ACK frames across wireless links is contained by using the information from the MAC layer acknowledgements is disclosed. More specifically the method significantly reduces bandwidth consumption and improves the performance of TCP on wireless networks. Furthermore, since the number of transmitted and received packets is reduced at the mobile device, the battery life of the device can be improved significantly. The proposed method can also be applied to downlink and uplink ACK frames with a slight variation between the two.
