Modified SNOOP: A New TCP Protocol over Wireless Networks

When data streams transmitted on the networks include wire and wireless parts, the utilizations of bandwidth are usually not good on existing TCP protocol, that is because TCP is not designed for the wireless transferring at first.
The SNOOP protocol suggests to cache the data streams from fixed stations to mobile hosts. And do local retransmissions when the data lost is still available on base stations. Our thesis supposes to modify the existing SNOOP protocol, then proving that it reduces many unnecessary timeout on the simulation result.
Generating a loss notification back to the TCP sender when there is a packet loss on the wireless link. This notification makes TCP wait a short period of time while base stations is doing local retransmission. These series of mechanisms also avoid low transmit rate which occur when unnecessary timeouts. Besides we preserve the original advantages of SNOOP.
