Eliminating inefficient cross layer interactions in wireless networking
type: CreativeWork
description: Wireless networking and more specifically, the performance problems that exist when protocols commonly used in the Internet run over wireless links, are high priority research topics in both academia and industry. Yet, a number of difficult problems remain unsolved. The root of these lies in inefficient cross-layer interactions, caused by events occurring at the link layer that affect the performance of end-to-end error and congestion control schemes. Those events are packet losses due to transmission error and increased packet transmission delays caused by link layer error control. The goal of the dissertation was to study inefficient cross-layer interactions in wireless networking and to develop and evaluate a solution that eliminates these inefficiencies.
