Abstract:
1. A transport control method in a transmission terminal of a wireless communication system having a transport layer having a congestion control function of transmitting data in a segment basis and retransmitting a segment if a retransmission timeout (RTO) timer expires before receipt of an acknowledgement (ACK) segment from a reception terminal of the wireless communication system in response to transmission of the segment, and a medium access control (MAC) layer for detecting receipt of an ACK segment through a wireless link and transporting the detected ACK segment to the transport layer, the transport control method comprising: temporarily storing received ACK segments from the reception terminal in the MAC layer of the transmission terminal; detecting an average transmission rate of data segments; and transporting the stored ACK segments from the MAC layer to the transport layer of the transmission terminal at the detected average transmission rate.
