Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable by a network device with one or more processors, wherein execution of the instructions causes the network device to:
transmit 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;
receive a notification message indicating that the UE has moved from the LTE RAN to a Next Generation RAN;
increase, 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
transmit second data to the UE via the Next Generation RAN using the increased segsize and the decreased ssthresh of the TCP congestion control parameters.
