In this paper, the bulk throughput performance of TCP NewReno over wireless fading links having memory is studied. Like TCP Tahoe, the NewReno version of TCP implements a fast retransmit procedure, but it uses a different congestion window adaptation algorithm. In this study, we show that, for the d...
