Abstract:
1. A wireless mobile terminal comprising: transmission control protocol (TCP) receiver means receiving a data packet sent from a TCP sender, the data packet comprising a header portion and a payload portion; means for determining a current data rate of a wireless downlink transmission to the wireless mobile terminal from signaling information contained in the header portion of the data packet; and means for determining a size of an advertised window depending on the current data rate of the wireless downlink transmission to the wireless mobile terminal, wherein the signaling information comprises information about the current data rate of the wireless downlink transmission to the wireless mobile terminal or information about a current modulation and a coding scheme, and wherein the means for determining the current data rate of the wireless downlink transmission to the wireless mobile terminal determines the current data rate from the information about the current data rate of the wireless downlink transmission to the wireless mobile terminal or the information about a current modulation and a coding scheme included in the signaling information.
