| dc.description.abstract | High speed satellite-based data networks are highly desirable for a variety of mobile applications. In order to inter-operate with existing networks, satellite-based systems must support TCP/IP traffic. However, TCP performs poorly on land-mobile satellite channels because of large propagation delays and frequent correlated packet loss. The use of a link layer ARQ protocol can improve TCP performance by insulating TCP from data. loss. However, the interactions between TCP and link layer protocols are not well understood. This thesis describes an emulation-based study of a mobile satellite link that explores the interactions between TCP and link layer ARQ. | en_US |
