Abstract
In a wireless communication network, a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) optimization engine receives user data. The TCP optimization engine transfers a TCP packet having the user data to wireless User Equipment (UE). The UE wirelessly receives the TCP packet using a wireless communication protocol and loads the TCP packet into a TCP buffer. The UE generates a TCP Acknowledgment (ACK) for the TCP packet that also indicates the wireless communication protocol. The UE wirelessly transfers the TCP ACK to the TCP optimization engine. The TCP optimization engine selects a new size for the TCP buffer based on the wireless communication protocol in the TCP ACK from the UE. The TCP optimization engine generates and transfers a TCP buffer instruction to the UE indicating the buffer size. The UE wirelessly receives the TCP buffer instruction and sizes the TCP buffer to the TCP buffer size.
