To evaluate the behavior of TCP on a path with wireless link, we build wireline-wireless network model, and assume link is bottleneck which causes packets to be buffered at interface buffer. A reliable layer protocol assumed hides fluctuations medium from TCP. We first model channel Markov chain use matrix geometric method packet loss probability. then analyze long-term steady-state send rate throughput connection.
