Most current wireless wide area packet data networks (WWANs) are characterized by low and variable bandwidths, high and variable delays, significant non-congestion related loss, asymmetric uplink and downlink channels, and occasional blackouts. Additionally, the majority of the latency in a WWAN connection is incurred over the wireless link. Under such operating conditions, most contemporary wireless TCP algorithms do not perform very well.
