Behavior of TCP over IEEE 802.11

With the aid of what has been seen in previous sections, permitting the characterization
of both UDP and the IEEE 802.11b platform under different
radio channel conditions, the characterization of the behavior of the TCP protocols over the same platform can now be approached. To do this, the
same process as with UDP is followed (i.e., the behavior of TCP is analyzed
over both the ideal channel and the real channel). Note that in this section,
in contrast to what was done before, an analysis of the different procedures of
the IEEE 802.11 access protocol will not be contemplated; instead, a detailed
study about how TCP reacts to the presence of errors and the implications
will be provided.
