Abstract

A mobile User Equipment (UE) uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to deliver mobile data services over different radios. The mobile UE qualifies the individual radios that have adequate signal strength at a geographic location. The mobile UE estimates TCP retransmission rates at the location for the qualified radios. The mobile UE identifies individual qualified radios that have adequate TCP retransmission rate estimates. The mobile UE selects one of the identified radios that has the lowest power usage. The mobile UE exchanges TCP packets over the selected radio which includes participating in TCP retransmissions at the location. The selected radio wirelessly exchanges the TCP packets with a wireless access node. The mobile UE stores resulting TCP retransmission data for the selected radio in association with the location for future TCP retransmission rate estimates.
