1. A method of Channel Quality Assisted (CQA) transport by a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) receiver for a wireless network, comprising:
monitoring, by the TCP receiver, quality of a wireless channel based on at least one of signal quality parameters and wireless channel events;
detecting, by the TCP receiver, a fluctuation in the quality of the wireless channel including: (i) determining whether the signal quality parameters meet an adaptive threshold value using a windowed average and (ii) detecting the fluctuation in the quality of the wireless channel in response to determining that the signal quality parameters meet the adaptive threshold value; and
sending, by the TCP receiver, an indication of the fluctuation in the quality of the wireless channel to a TCP transmitter configured to adjust at least one parameter of a transport layer based on the fluctuation in the quality of the wireless channel,
wherein the indication comprises information indicating a wireless channel quality state of a plurality of predefined wireless channel quality states associated with the quality of the wireless channel.
