Abstract
A machine-readable medium, a system, and an apparatus are provided for increasing a data transmission rate. A window size is established, where the window size is an indicator of an amount of data a terminal can receive. Data segments are received in accordance with the window size. An error condition of the data segments over a specified time period is measured. The window size of the data terminal is changed based on the error condition.
Claims16
A method for transmitting data segments to a terminal, the method comprising:
- establishing a size of data segments for data transmitted to a terminal;
- receiving a plurality of data segments in accordance with the established size;
- and
- changing the established size based on an error condition associated with the received plurality of data segments, wherein the error condition is a number of errored octets of the plurality of data segments.
A device that receives data segments, the device comprising:
- a processor;
- a module configured to control the processor to establish a size of data segments for data received by the device;
- a module configured to control the processor to receive a plurality of data segments in accordance with the established size;
- and
- a module configured to control the processor to notify a transmission device of a change in the established size based on an error condition associated with the received plurality of data segments wherein the error condition is a number of errored octets of the plurality of data segments.
A computer-readable medium storing instructions to be executed by a computer for controlling a device for receiving transmitted data segments, the instructions comprising:
- establishing a size of data segments for data transmitted to a terminal;
- receiving a plurality of data segments in accordance with the established size;
- and
- changing the established size based on an error condition associated with the received plurality of data segments, wherein the error condition is a number of errored octets of the plurality of data segments.
