Abstract?In this paper, we present the throughput performance of transport control protocol/radio link protocol (TCP/RLP) stack on correlated fading direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) wireless links. It is shown that because of significant burstiness in RLP frame errors in highly correlated Rayleigh fading, longer persistence at the RLP layer to recover lost RLP frames (more than the IS-99 specified three retransmission attempts at the RLP layer) is beneficial at low-link fading margins.
