Abstract

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is known as WiMAX technology which provides high-speed Internet to urban and rural areas. This work focused on the performance comparison of Transmission Control Protocol variants such as New Reno, Sack1, Linux and Vegas in WiMAX network with medium access control and operating parameters. The research carried out determined the optimal values for different parameters to get better performance for different Transmission Control Protocol variants. The performance is evaluated using the data sending rate, data receiving rate and packets dropped which is used to calculate the packet error rate.
