    Abstract: A cellular communications system may include a user equipment (UE) that executes a target and non-target applications. The UE may convey a first stream of non-quality-of-service (QoS) wireless data with a first external device over a first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) session and may receive a second stream of non-QoS wireless data from a second external device over a second TCP session. Responsive to a drop in data rate of the first stream, the UE may perform mitigation operations that adjust receipt of the second stream to boost the data rate of the first stream. The mitigation operations may include transmission of a triple duplicate acknowledgement (TDA), delayed transmission of an acknowledgment (ACK) to the second stream, and/or terminating the second TCP session. This may prevent disruptions to user experience with the first software application even when the network has downlink data to transmit to the UE.
