“…Finally, leveraging SCTP for path handover, [82], [83], [84], [85] and several others surveyed in [86] cite the problems of spurious retransmissions, unnecessary CWND reductions and reordering caused by path handover. [87] evaluates the feasibility to combine both CMT and SCTP with dynamic address reconfiguration as a potential enhancement to the handover schemes.…”

The fifth generation (5G) cellular network aims at providing very high data rates, ultra reliable low latency communications, and a vast increase of connection density. As one of the design trends towards these objectives, 5G exploits multi-connectivity, i.e., the concurrent use of multiple access networks. The Access Traffic Steering, Switching, and Splitting (ATSSS) architecture has recently been proposed to enable 5G multi-connectivity, and multipath transport protocols have emerged as a key ATSSS technology enabler. Within this context, this survey presents a detailed review of multipath transport protocols, identifies their existing and potential exploitation in ATSSS, and suggests their applicability for enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) services. To this end, we first review 5G background and current standardization activities around multiconnectivity and the ATSSS architecture. We then provide an in-depth review of multipath transport protocols, covering four core functionalities, i.e., path management, scheduling, congestion control, and reliable transfer. Based on the reviewed literature, we further discuss the integration of multipath transport into ATSSS to achieve eMBB and URLLC service requirements. Finally, we also point out major open research issues and discuss possible future directions.INDEX TERMS Multipath transport protocols, ATSSS (Access Traffic Steering, Switching and Splitting), eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband), URLLC (Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication).

“…21 Working Group has been working on the Media Independent Handover Services Protocol [2], whose purpose is to provide a homogeneous functioninterface between heterogeneous network technologies. Currently, there are works addressing the performance of the IEEE 802.21 technology [18], as well as real implementations on operating systems, smartphones [19], and tablet devices [20].…”

“…In this case, a message is sent on the cellular network, forcing it to allocate resources to the session. Warming up the interface this way provides a significant performance improvement, as discussed by Söderman et al [16]. In the next step, an additional control of the RSSI is made, and only if the RSSI of the currently active WiFi network is still below the lower RSSI threshold, the handover actually takes place.…”

Today commodity mobile devices are frequently equipped with two wireless access technologies, WiFi and 3G/4G. To enable continuous connectivity it is vital that these terminals provide for vertical handover between different technologies. Particularly, they should provide a vertical handover that complies with the timeliness requirements of soft real-time applications. Considering aspects such as cost-and ease-of-deployment, application neutrality, and, not least, the emergence of transport protocols that support multi-homing such as mobile SCTP and multi-path TCP, we think it would be beneficial to handle vertical handover in the transport layer of the mobile terminal. This paper demonstrates through several real-world experiments, the feasibility of using a lightweight vertical handover scheme in smart mobile terminals for live video streaming. The vertical handover criteria is based on the received signal strength. Our experiments suggest that the scheme indeed provides for seamless vertical handover at walking speed -our target scenario. However, the experiments also suggest that the scheme gives significant reductions in handover time, as compared to mobile SCTP without improvements, at higher speeds.
