Abstract
IEEE 802.11 is a widely used wireless LAN standard for medium access control. TCP is a prominent transport protocol originally designed for wired networks. TCP treats packet loss as congestion and reduces the data rate. In wireless networks packets are lost not only due to congestion but also due to various other reasons. Hence there is need for making TCP adaptable to wireless networks. Various parameters of TCP and IEEE 802.11 can be set to appropriate values to achieve optimum performance results. In this paper optimum values for various parameters of IEEE 802.11 are determined. Network simulator NS2 is used for simulation.
