Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
transmitting, from a network device, first data to a user equipment (UE) via a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Radio Access Network (RAN) using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) congestion control parameters, wherein the TCP congestion control parameters comprise a segment size parameter (segsize) associated with a TCP congestion window (CWND) and a slow start threshold parameter (ssthresh) associated with a slow start phase of TCP congestion control;
receiving, by the network device, a notification message indicating that the UE has moved from the LTE RAN to a Next Generation RAN;
increasing, by the network device responsive to receipt of the notification message indicating that the UE has moved from the LTE RAN to the Next Generation RAN, a value of the segsize while simultaneously decreasing the ssthresh such that the CWND increments at a faster rate over a shorter period of time; and
transmitting, from the network device, second data to the UE via the Next Generation RAN using the increased segsize and the decreased ssthresh of the TCP congestion control parameters.
