Abstract:
In this paper, we advocate the use, propose the design, and describe the implementation of an asymmetric transport-layer protocol for mobile systems. In an asymmetrically designed protocol, peer functions are implemented through algorithms and procedures that are of substantially different complexity, with the lower complexity procedures used on the mobile device. We have devised and implemented an example of such a communication protocol, termed by us Mobile-TCP that provides the TCP functionality. Although Mobile-TCP is based on the indirect interaction model, the semantics of the TCP protocol are preserved.
