The solution for wireless could be a TCP congestion control change, such as Westwood+ which accounts for bandwidth by delay rather than dropped packets.
But even better is a simple proxy setup. The proxy handles the request at the AP for the client, and retransmits can occur over the much faster wireless link.
It's mostly a cost issue, since only recent APs are powerful enough to run a local caching proxy.
