Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method suited for improved overall data transmission having a hardware-based transceiver configured for transmitting upstream data with suppressed data packets. In TCP sessions between devices, a server seeks an “acknowledgement” that the downstream data transmission has been received by a client. Some data packets sent upstream may contain only TCP acknowledgement data and therefore may be combined with other purely TCP acknowledgement data packets in order to reduce the impact of the TCP acknowledgement packets on the overall upstream data throughput. In addition, this results in increased TCP performance in the downstream transmission direction as well because the algorithm enables replacing earlier arriving ACK packets with later arriving ACK packets which allows the device to send all TCP ACK information known to the suppressor at the earliest possible time.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A device comprising: a transceiver configured to receive and transmit data, and store the data in a memory; a suppression circuit coupled to the transceiver and configured to determine a characteristic value for a first data packet from the data, and store the characteristic value in the memory, determine respective characteristic values for subsequent data packets, and compare the characteristic value of the first data packet and a given characterist…
