Exploring Mobile/WiFi Handover with Multipath TCP

ACM SIGCOMM workshop on Cellular Networks (Cellnet'12) · 2012

Abstract

Mobile Operators see an unending growth of data traffic generated by their customers on their mobile data networks. As the operators start to have a hard time carrying all this traffic over 3G or 4G networks, offloading to WiFi is being considered. Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is an evolution of TCP that allows the simultaneous use of multiple interfaces for a single connection while still presenting a standard TCP socket API to the application. The protocol specification of Multipath TCP has foreseen the different building blocks to allow transparent handover from WiFi to 3G back and forth.
