An Enhanced Multifunctional Transport Layer Protocol for Heterogeneous Data in Wireless Communication

Abstract

It is exciting to see that the applicability of smart devices has drastically boosted compared to many other electronic devices during the last decade. Although the usage of those devices is evolving, the kinds of data behaviors they produce are also rising. Nevertheless, when using existing transport layer protocols to support different data behaviors, the devices are having difficulties in applying a single protocol for each data transferring requirement in a wireless environment. The proposed solution for the problem is to develop an Enhanced Multifunctional Transport Layer Protocol which is EMTP for heterogeneous data transferring in wireless communication. The protocol identifies the data transfer behavior and utilizes the characteristics of the transport layer like improving reliability, latency, weaknesses in congestion control, and problems in resiliency.
