TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL RESET BURST HANDLING

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. For example, when a modem of a user equipment (UE) receives a burst of reset (RST) packets from an application processor, the modem may send only one RST packet and prune the remaining RST packets in the RST packet burst, or may send only one RST packet in a time period in cases where the RST packet burst is associated with a closed TCP connection and/or a TCP connection for which an RST packet has already been sent to a network node. Additionally or alternatively, the modem may inform the application processor to prune RST packets associated with the closed TCP connections and/or the TCP connections for which an RST packet has already been sent. Furthermore, similar techniques may be applied at the network node to avoid sending downlink traffic that is likely to result in uplink RST traffic.
