BANDWIDTH AND ROUND-TRIP TIME DETECTION BASED CONGESTION CONTROL FOR MULTIPATH TCP OVER HIGHLY LOSSY SATELLITE NETWORKS
Hefei Hu, Heng Li, Yuanan Liu · 2018
Satellite systems might become an important supplement to 5G systems. In addition, compared with regular TCP, multipath TCP (MPTCP) provides a robust solution. However, due to the high latency and high loss of satellite networks, most of the existing multipath TCP congestion control schemes do not perform well. Therefore, we proposed a bandwidth and round-trip time detection-based congestion control (BWRD) for multipath TCP over highly lossy satellite networks. Simulations are running to evaluate the proposed BWRD algorithm. It is shown that compared to previous solutions, our strategy significantly improves throughput performance and guarantees the fairness among the various sub-flows.
