ABSTRACT: Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) is the most important transport layer protocol being used
nowadays. It suffers from many problems over mobile networks especially over
Cognitive Radio (CR). CR is one of the latest mobile technologies that brings
its own share of problems for TCP. The buffer overflow for CR secondary network
relay node can affect the performance of TCP. The contribution of this paper is
the novel cross-layer model being used to evaluate the effect of the TCP
congestion control on the secondary relay node buffer size in Cognitive Radio
Network (CRN). The performance has been assessed by buffer overflow
probability.
