Abstract
Multi network interface has become common phenomenon for mobile devices such as smart phone which has 3G, LTE-advanced, WiFi. Consequently, there are researches for a transmission strategies using multiple paths below on end-to-end connection. MPTCP which is proposed and being standardized by the IETF as a new transport protocol can perform concurrent multipath transfer using multiple network interfaces. However, current MPTCP has performance degradation when it use heterogeneous networks which have quite different network characteristics. Therefore, this paper proposes the packet scheduling scheme and receiver-based recovery scheme to reduce the performance degradation due to reordering problem. Also, simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve throughput and retransmission performance.
