Abstract

We propose a general method for modeling TCP over multi-hop IEEE 802.11 network with time varying channel state. This study is meant to provide an understanding of the effect of various parameters on TCP performance. We present the general methodology via completely worked out simple examples under simplifying assumptions. This analysis gives a closed form expression for TCP throughput under simplifying assumptions
