Title:   TCP Performance Enhancement in Wireless Environments: Prototyping in Linux
Type:   Bachelor's thesis
Student:   Swen Weiland
Supervisor:   Lei Shi
Status:   completed

Description
It has been well-known that TCP behaves not ideally in wireless environments, particularlly because of its congestion control algorithms designed for wired networks. By applying a cross-layer method in access routers, it is possible to optimize the end-to-end TCP performance. This thesis examines closely the reliability and congestion control aspects in a wireless access IP router. The objective is to implement the proposed method in Linux and evaluate its scalability.

Requirements
Good programming skills in C/C++; good understanding of computer networking and knowledge of mobile networking. Completion of a Computer Networks lecture and practical course preferred.
