Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A User Equipment (UE) configured to use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) over one or more radios, the UE comprising:
radios that:
wirelessly exchange past TCP packets at past geographic locations with wireless communication nodes;

UE circuitry that:
exchanges the past TCP packets with the radios at the past geographic locations;
determines past TCP retransmission rates for the radios at the past geographic locations;
at a new geographic location, calculates distances between the new geographic location and the past geographic locations and determines estimated TCP retransmission rates for the radios at the new geographic location based on the past TCP retransmission rates for the radios at the past geographic locations and the distances between the new geographic location and the past geographic locations;
compares the estimated TCP retransmission rates for the radios at the new geographic location to a rate threshold and selects one of the radios having an estimated TCP retransmission rate below the rate threshold; and
exchanges new TCP packets with the selected one of the radios at the new geographic location; and

the selected one of the radios that:
wirelessly exchange the new TCP packets at the new geographic location with one of the wireless communication nodes.
