The present disclosure relates to a method, performed in a single IP-address source node in a wireless communication network, of establishing a multipath TCP, MPTCP, connection for transfer of TCP data in MPTCP subflows to a destination node. The single IP-address source node receives an MPTCP trigger to activate a multipath TCP connection. One or more source TCP ports are selected, wherein each source TCP port is selected to constitute a starting point of an MPTCP subflow. One or more MPTCP notifications are sent to the destination node. Each MPTCP notification includes information on a selected source TCP port. The single IP-address source node receives an acknowledgment of each MPTCP notification from the destination node.The present disclosure also relates to corresponding method performed in a destination node and a wireless device configured for establishing an MPTCP connection.

Multipath bandwidth usage

Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for identifying a primary flow and its corresponding subflow(s) so that the subflow(s) may be routed to more efficiently use bandwidth between a source host and a destination host. In embodiments, a table correlates flows and their corresponding keys for Multipath TCP flows. When a new subflow is initiated between a source device and a destination device, the new flow can be identified as being a subflow of a primary flow using data in the table. Having identified the subflow and its corresponding primary flow, the new subflow may have an installed route path that differs from its primary flow, thereby improving the bandwidth usage.

Dynamic subflow control for multipath transport connection in wireless communication network

A multipath transport protocol such as multipath TCP can utilize metrics such as a wireless link condition corresponding to one or more paths as a parameter for controlling a dynamic allocation of data and control signaling over respective paths. Fault-tolerant control can enable retransmissions of packets already sent on a poor path, onto a good path. Further, the feedback, the retransmissions, and other control signaling can be provided on a separate subflow or on a UDP overlay. In this way, a multipath TCP connection can be more reliable and efficient as flow control and data flow are enhanced.

Method for controlling multi-priority connection congestion time windows in multi-path TCP

The invention discloses a method for controlling multi-priority connection congestion time windows in a multi-path TCP (transmission control protocol) and belongs to the field of a network communication technology. The method is applied to terminal equipment including a multi-core processor and multiple independent physical network interfaces and the network communication process where multiple TCP paths are established by multiple tasks via MPTCP. When the TCP congestion time windows of high-priority tasks are required to be increased, the congestion time windows are constantly ensured as the maximum value of the TCP congestion time windows of all present tasks by the method; when the TCP passageway generation data packets of the high-priority tasks lose, the TCP congestion time windows of various tasks on the same network interface are reduced by one half via the method. When multiple tasks perform network communication via MPTCP and various tasks can select transmission paths with better performances by the method, the high-priority tasks can acquire more network resources; thus the communication service quality of the high-priority tasks can be ensured even if the reception requests of the present TCP path are overmuch and congested.

Multi-path TCP network coding transmission system and method based on packet loss distinguishing in vehicle ad hoc network

The invention discloses a multi-path TCP network coding transmission system and method based on packet loss distinguishing in a vehicle ad hoc network. In the vehicle ad hoc network, as the vehicle moving speed is high, the network topological structure of the node in the VANET changes rapidly. Besides, in a wireless vehicle-mounted network environment, the wireless vehicle-mounted network is easily interfered by external environment factors (such as noise, wireless signal attenuation, buildings and the like), so that the transmission efficiency of data in the VANET is greatly reduced. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, judging whether a data packet is lost or not in the sending process of the data packet; secondly, in the case of data packet loss, reasons for data packet loss can be detected, and different processing can be carried out according to the reasons for packet loss on different sub-streams. Experimental simulation shows that compared with a conventional multi-path TCP transmission method, the method provided by the invention not only saves network resources, but also has advantages in network parameters such as throughput and time delay.
