No, its not true.

The maximum sender window size depends upon two factors:

1) No. of frames that can be tranferred by sender in RTT.

2) No. of bits available for sequence number field.

Thus maximum sender window size is, Ws = min( 1+2a, 2N).

where N is the no of bits available.

So, in a case where 2N is less than 1+2a, the statement is FALSE.
