Transmission control protocol acknowledgement management

A wireless device for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled to the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the wireless device to:
• identify, by the wireless device, an amount of acknowledgement (ACK) reduction associated with an applications processor (AP) of the wireless device;
• determine a combined ACK reduction as a combination of the amount of ACK reduction associated with the AP of the wireless device and an amount of ACK reduction associated with a transmission control protocol (TCP) ACK management scheme;
• determine, at the wireless device, whether to modify the TCP ACK management scheme based at least in part on the combined ACK reduction;
• and
• transmit ACKs in accordance with the TCP ACK management scheme.

A wireless device for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for identifying, by the wireless device, an amount of acknowledgement (ACK) reduction associated with an applications processor (AP) of the wireless device;
• means for determining a combined ACK reduction as a combination of the amount of ACK reduction associated with the AP of the wireless device and an amount of ACK reduction associated with a transmission control protocol (TCP) ACK management scheme;
• means for determining, at the wireless device, whether to modify the TCP ACK management scheme based at least in part on the combined ACK reduction;
• and
• means for transmitting ACKs in accordance with the TCP ACK management scheme.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• identify, by a wireless device, an amount of acknowledgement (ACK) reduction associated with an applications processor (AP) of the wireless device;
• determine a combined ACK reduction as a combination of the amount of ACK reduction associated with the AP of the wireless device and an amount of ACK reduction associated with a transmission control protocol (TCP) ACK management scheme;
• determine, at the wireless device, whether to modify the TCP ACK management scheme based at least in part on the combined ACK reduction;
• and
• transmit ACKs in accordance with the TCP ACK management scheme.
