“…CMT-SCTP has been extended in Refs. [9][10][11] so that scheduling can be performed more efficiently exploiting RTT, error rate and buffer size in the decision metric. The issue of buffer blocking in CMT-SCTP due to out-of-order deliveries, when the multiple paths have uneven bandwidth, is addressed in Ref.…”

Connected vehicles are promoted with the use of different communication technologies for diverse applications and services. There is an ongoing debate in the research and industry communities whether short range communications based on IEEE 802.11p or cellular based on 3GPP LTE should be used for vehicular communications. We propose a mechanism to utilise both short range and cellular communications simultaneously in a cost efficient way while providing the required quality of service to the users. A host connected to multiple networks is referred to as a multi-homed node and SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is an IETF standard which supports multi-homing. We propose an extension to SCTP that takes into account not only path quality but also the cost of using each network. It is shown that the combination of QoS and cost information increases economic benefits for provider and end-users, while providing increased packet throughput.Keywords: SCTP, cost efficiency, hybrid network architecture, heterogeneous vehicular networks, LTE, DSRCCitation: K.

“…Unfortunately, the solution did not take into consideration any of the benefits brought by CMT. Inspired by the fact that the design of cross‐layer CMT‐based multimedia streaming will be an urgent need in future wireless network, we proposed a novel cross‐layer cognitive CMT appropriate for wireless multimedia delivery.…”

“…Although CMT‐based multimedia streaming has gained much attention and resulted in many peer‐reviewed publications , there is still significant ongoing work addressing many challenges. The classic CMT strategy mainly uses a round‐robin method to split SCTP packets over all available paths in an equal‐share way to achieve parallel transmissions and bandwidth aggregation.…”

Stream control transport protocol (SCTP)‐based concurrent multipath transfer (CMT) can help multi‐homed devices to increase their throughput by making use of parallel transmissions over multiple paths and bandwidth aggregation. However, if CMT cannot identify wireless error, it cannot really achieve the desired performance. Furthermore, if CMT only utilizes all available paths for data delivery, it will undoubtedly degrade application‐level performance since the asymmetric paths may involve large quality differences. This paper proposes a novel cross‐layer quality‐of‐service (QoS)‐aware adaptive CMT (CMT‐CQA) with the following aims: (i) to provide an adaptive ‘CMT‐to‐partial CMT’ adjustment strategy for efficient bandwidth aggregation by jointly considering transport layer QoS, MAC layer QoS, and path history information; (ii) to address an enhanced congestion window (cwnd) fast recovery mechanism to reduce bursty transmission in multi‐homed wireless network environments where fail‐over occurs frequently; and (iii) to introduce a proper multimedia transmission behavior to improve users' quality of experience (QoE) for multimedia streaming service. Simulation results show that CMT‐CQA outperforms the existing CMT solutions in terms of performance and QoS. © 2014 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…Meanwhile, promoted by the latest WiFi and cellular technological progress, wireless terminals (i.e., mobile PC, smartphones, etc.) are embedded with multinetwork interface and enabled simultaneous access to multiple heterogeneous networks [3,4]. Such multihomed devices can improve their throughput performance and enhance user's quality of experience (QoE) by making use of multiple links either simultaneously or alternatively in a heterogeneous wireless network, supported by the Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) [5].…”

“…Current SCTP extensions [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and multimedia-related solutions [1,4,[20][21][22] depend solely upon the sender to run flow/congestion control and handover management operations. However, taking Fig.…”

In a heterogeneous wireless environment, mobility particularly vertical handover between WiFi and cellular data service has to be supported. The support for multihoming feature makes Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) become a promising transport layer-based handover scheme for end users. Although the benefits of applying SCTP for multimedia delivery and handover have been proved to be extremely useful, there are still many challenges that remain: (i) current sender-centric SCTP handover management solutions fail to balance the computational overhead between a sender and receiver and (ii) they also suffer from performance degradation due to the rigid three-duplicated-SACK-based loss detection and recovery strategy. This paper proposes SCTP-Rev + , a new receiver-assisted cellular/WiFi handover management mechanism for SCTP-based multimedia transport aiming to (i) optimize SCTP handover management and achieve overhead balancing between the sender and receiver, by moving path estimation and handover decision operations from the sender onto receiver and (ii) improve SCTP loss recovery ability and multimedia delivery performance, by providing SCTP with a simple but effective retransmission-aware loss detection/recovery mechanism. We show that the proposed solution outperforms the current SCTP schemes in terms of goodput performance and multimedia delivery quality.
