Latest Patents
Apurva Kumar holds a patent for a system titled "TCP-aware agent sublayer (TAS) for robust TCP over wireless." This invention aims to minimize the effects of faults over an air link of a wireless transmission channel utilizing Transport Control Protocol (TCP). The system includes a TCP-Aware Agent Sublayer (TAS) in a protocol stack, which features a mechanism for caching both TCP packets during forward transmission and acknowledgment (ACK) return packets. The caching mechanism is strategically located near a wireless link of the wireless transmission channel. Additionally, the system incorporates a link monitoring agent that is coupled to the TAS. This agent monitors the condition of the wireless transmission channel for any occurrence of a predefined fault. Upon detecting a predefined fault, a system response is implemented based on the type of fault encountered. For instance, when the fault is an air link packet loss, an associated packet is immediately retransmitted from the cache. Conversely, if the fault is a temporary disconnect, a congestion window of the TCP source is closed.
