Abstract
802.11ad links provide data rates up to 6.7 Gbps but remain highly susceptible to blockage and mobility. On the other hand, legacy 802.11ac/n links yield much lower rates but are robust even under dynamic scenarios. In this work, we explore using Multipath TCP (MPTCP) to engage both 802.11ad and 802.11ac interfaces simultaneously for performance speed-up and improved reliability. We show that vanilla MPTCP achieves these goals under static conditions but often results in performance worse than using the faster interface alone under dynamic scenarios. We then design and implement AMuSe, a new MPTCP scheduler that allows MPTCP to perform near-optimally under all scenarios.

Poster: Can MPTCP Improve Performance for Dual-Band 60 GHz/5 GHz Clients?
MobiCom '17: Proceedings of the 23rd Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and NetworkingThis work conducts one of the first experimental studies of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) in dual-band 60 GHz/5 GHz WLANs using off-the-shelf hardware. We consider both uncoupled and different coupled congestion control algorithms, compare their performance and ...
ECN-based shared bottleneck detection for multi-path TCP
AbstractMulti-Path TCP (MPTCP) shows its unique advantages over single-path TCP thanks to its aggregate throughput from multiple paths, balancing efficiency and fairness over multipath transmission. However, MPTCP senders should tackle the friendliness ...
FMTCP: a fountain code-based multipath transmission control protocol
Ideally, the throughput of a Multipath TCP (MPTCP) connection should be as high as that of multiple disjoint single-path TCP flows. In reality, the throughput of MPTCP is far lower than expected. In this paper, we conduct an extensive simulation-based ...
