A method and a system is provided for optimizing the throughput of a TCP flow from a TCP source to a TCP destination in a wireless network with the path of the flow encompassing a wireless link between a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver. The throughput is optimized by using link-layer mechanisms at the wireless transmitter which are adaptive to the instantaneous TCP dynamics of the TCP flow. In particular, a cross-layer approach is disclosed which serves to tunnel information of TCP congestion control dynamics directly from the TCP based transport layer to the data link-layer which selects in response to these information modulation and/or coding schemas to transmit TCP segments via data link-layer blocks with improved TCP throughput.
