basic issues of TCP over wireless networks are mentioned here. I-TCP and Snoop-TCP are 'middleware' apps on TCP, thus not end to end. They buff the packets to increase throughput.

broad info on problems of TCP over mobile wireless networks

TCP tahoe: slow start, congestion avoidance and fast retramsmit
TCP reno: fast recovery w/ fast retransmit
TCP vegas: good rtt measurements.

Research issues:
detect nature of error -> fading channel, congestion, handoff, burst errors
must be energy-saving due to constrained devices
ECN -> flag in IP
RED -> random early detection.
End-to-end argument -> where to place desired function

Error Detection:
TCP-probing
WTCP -> base station buffs data received
levels of congestion->
"The efficiency of such measurements on the congestion level has two dimensions: how to measure congestion, and where to measure it (i.e., at the sender or the receiver). In the next section we extend the discussion on the latter, since it crucial for the error recovery tactics of TCP. As for the former, whether an estimation of congestion should be based on RTT measurements, on the packet-pair approach, on the wave pattern, or on single probes is an open issue of further research and experimentation."
