Time to pick a thesis topic.
i'm interested in topics which are something about:
reliable transfer on mobile ad-hoc networks
reliable transfer on wireless networks
reliable multicast
end to end reliability in wireless networks

the title is something like improving/enhancing end to end reliability in mobile networks.

in wireless mobile networks, packet loss can occur due to weak connection signal and interference. TCP only recognizes packet loss as a result of congestion.

Mobile:
SMS
GPRS
HSDPA
wifi
etc.

=> will research on these.

How to test:
Omnet++
java mobile -> emulator

How to prove that my protocol is correct.
-math!
-tests

As of now, my knowledge is limited to:
tcp stuff
convergence
fairness
rtt
who will initiate retransmits?
ordering? -> bat sa sctp optional

research pa sa tcp variants.
other end to end techniques for reliable transfer
checksum, hash, etc.

Papakialaman pa ba ang underlying networks?
multicast
manets
mesh
routing
gsm
