Abstract
In TCP, packet loss is considered to be caused by congestion. In the Satcom on the Move communication system, packet loss is not only caused by channel congestion but is also a characteristic of wireless transmission media. In this case, the TCP transmitter automatically confirms that packet loss is a waste of bandwidth due to congestion and reduction in transmission rate. This problem can be solved by making the TCP source intelligent and able to distinguish the type of loss that occurs and then react appropriately. This paper proposes an improved TCP-D algorithm to achieve that goal.
