Abstract
Systems and methods for using radio layer information to enhance network transport protocols are provided. Channel characteristics are obtained from a radio layer in a mobile device. The channel characteristics indicate the quality of a connection between the mobile device and a base station. Based on the channel characteristics, a bandwidth of the connection between the mobile device and the base station is calculated. A server is instructed to transmit data to the mobile device at the data rate determined based on the determined bandwidth.
