In this paper, we present a study on the performance of TCP, in terms of both throughput and energy consumption, in the presence of a wideband CDMA radio interface typical of third generation wireless systems. The results show that the relationship between throughput and average error rate is largely independent of the network load, making it possible to introduce a universal throughput curve, empirically characterized, which Lives throughput predictions for each value of the user error probability. Furthermore, the study of the energy efficiency shows the possibility to select an optimal power control threshold to maximize the trade-off between throughput and energy, thereby potentially achieving very significant energy gains.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a study on the performance of TCP, in terms of both throughput and energy consumption, in the presence of a wideband CDMA radio interface typical of third generation wireless systems. The results show that the relationship between throughput and average error rate is largely independent of the network load, making it possible to introduce a universal throughput curve, empirically characterized, which Lives throughput predictions for each value of the user error probability. Furthermore, the study of the energy efficiency shows the possibility to select an optimal power control threshold to maximize the trade-off between throughput and energy, thereby potentially achieving very significant energy gains.Pubblicazioni consigliate
