“…Thus, several studies propose TCP parameters and mechanisms tuning to improve its performance over the radio link constraints [6], [7], whereas other researchers focus their attention in adjusting the configuration of the UTRAN protocols to reduce the negative impact of the radio interface on TCP. In this second group, different strategies can also be also differentiated: several studies center on radio resource management and medium access control mechanisms [8], [9], whereas others are aimed to the study of RLC layer configuration and its effect on TCP traffic performance [10], [11], [12].…”
