Abstract
Systems and methods for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) acknowledgement (ACK) packet suppression are described. In various implementations, these systems and methods may be applicable to low-power communications. For example, a method may include receive a transport packet at a transport layer; de-encapsulating the transport packet using a transport protocol to identify a security packet; communicating the security packet to a security layer by the transport layer; communicating an acknowledgement signal to the transport layer from the security layer in response to receiving the security packet; suppressing an acknowledgement packet at the transport layer in response to receiving the acknowledgement signal; adding an acknowledgment indication to a next data packet to be sent after the suppress action; and sending the next data packet.
