Today’s congestion control misreads their jitter and loss as congestion — at the cost of throughput and battery life.</description><category>Edge AI</category><category>Mobile networks</category></item>

The catch: TCP reads the jitter of distributed AI traffic as congestion.</description><category>Edge AI</category><category>Telecom</category></item>
