Abstract
To control a TCP congestion window size for data sent from a TCP sending node in a communications network towards a TCP receiving node via a Radio Access Network, the TCP sending node determines a minimum required bit rate for a data stream sent towards the TCP receiving node. It then determines that a sending bit rate of the data stream must be reduced using a TCP congestion avoidance mechanism. When the congestion avoidance mechanism is applied, the congestion window size is adjusted such that the sending bit rate is no lower than the minimum required bit rate.
