Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides end to end transmission service which provide a significant contribution in congestion control in the network. TCP throughput is better in wired network than in wireless network, because TCP first designed to work in wired network. The main problem with TCP in wireless network is that no differentiation between network congestion and packet or wireless loss. Many versions of congestion algorithms has been built to accomplish an ideal state of congestion control in both wired and wireless networks. This paper provides a comparison study of congestion control in different popular versions of TCP designed in literature. The aim of this study is to pick up the best procedure to develop a novel version for wireless network which can be developed and used to solve the problem with congestion control in wireless network. According to the comparison, a hybrid TCP that use the network beside the sender and receiver to detect the congestion and processing it, will be the best choice to develop a novel TCP for both wired and wireless networks.

Abstract
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides end to end transmission service which provide a significant contribution in congestion control in the network. TCP throughput is better in wired network than in wireless network, because TCP first designed to work in wired network. The main problem with TCP in wireless network is that no differentiation between network congestion and packet or wireless loss. Many versions of congestion algorithms has been built to accomplish an ideal state of congestion control in both wired and wireless networks. This paper provides a comparison study of congestion control in different popular versions of TCP designed in literature. The aim of this study is to pick up the best procedure to develop a novel version for wireless network which can be developed and used to solve the problem with congestion control in wireless network. According to the comparison, a hybrid TCP that use the network beside the sender and receiver to detect the congestion and processing it, will be the best choice to develop a novel TCP for both wired and wireless networks.
