Abstract-TCP has been found to perform poorly in the presence of spurious timeouts (ST) caused by delay spikes which are especially more frequent in today's wireless mobile networks than in traditional wired network. Because STs do not frequently occur in wired networks, and are generally considered to represent a transient state, previous research did not consider the effects of ST on the steady state performance of TCP. However, ST is more frequent in wireless mobile environments, and must be considered explicitly to accurately model the steady state sending rate and throughput of TCP. In this paper, we propose an analytical model for the sending rate and throughput of TCP Reno as a function of packet error rate and characteristics of spurious timeouts. The accuracy of the proposed model has been validated against simulation results. The accuracy of the model has also been compared with previous models, and has been found to be more accurate than previous models in the presence of spurious timeouts.
