“…DPSAF is able to conduct fine-grained scheduling based on the amount of estimated data which is obtained by applying maximum likelihood estimation on all transmitting path and therefore is capable of responding quickly to network changes due to frequent feedback receptions. Ni et al [ 76 ] proposed a packet scheduling mechanism, called F2P-DPS in lossy networks. In addition to RTT and loss rate, it also takes congestion window size (cwnd) into consideration.…”

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is one of the most important extensions to TCP that enables the use of multiple paths in data transmissions for a TCP connection. In MPTCP, the end hosts transmit data across a number of TCP subflows simultaneously on one connection. MPTCP can sufficiently utilize the bandwidth resources to improve the transmission efficiency while providing TCP fairness to other TCP connections. Meanwhile, it also offers resilience due to multipath data transfers. MPTCP attracts tremendous attention from the academic and industry field due to the explosive data growth in recent times and limited network bandwidth for each single available communication interface. The vehicular Internet-of-Things systems, such as cooperative autonomous driving, require reliable high speed data transmission and robustness. MPTCP could be a promising approach to solve these challenges. In this paper, we first conduct a brief survey of existing MPTCP studies and give a brief overview to multipath routing. Then we discuss the significance technical challenges in applying MPTCP for vehicular networks and point out future research directions.

“…As Hwang et al point out in [219], waiting until the fastest path becomes free could be more efficient than immediately sending a packet on the slowest one if the difference between their RTTs is large enough. Even simple heuristics based on delay, transmission rate, and loss rate often perform better than the Lowest-RTT scheduler [196], [197].…”

Over the years, the Internet has been enriched with new available communication technologies, for both fixed and mobile networks and devices, exhibiting an impressive growth in terms of performance, with steadily increasing available data rates. The Internet research community has kept trying to evolve the transport layer protocols to match the capabilities of modern networks, in order to fully reap the benefits of the new communication technologies. This paper surveys the main novelties related to transport protocols that have been recently proposed, identifying three main research trends: (i) the evolution of congestion control algorithms, to target optimal performance in challenging scenarios, possibly with the application of machine learning techniques; (ii) the proposal of brand new transport protocols, alternative to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and implemented in the user-space; and (iii) the introduction of multipath capabilities at the transport layer.

“…These algorithms all use different design methods. The F 2 P-DPS [25] considers the TCP characteristics of the subflow and the packet loss rate of the path. The smoothed RTT obtained by the subflow and the packet loss rate are used to estimate the amount of data that the subflow may send in the future.…”

“…The path scheduling algorithm is crucial for us to study MPTCP [21]. There are many existing scheduling algorithms, Like, Round-Robin (RR) [22], Constraint-based proactive scheduling (CP) [23], Highest Sending Rate (HSR) [24], Largest Window Space (LWS) [24], Lowest Time/Space (LTS) [24], Fine-grained forward Prediction based Dynamic Packet Scheduling (F 2 P-DPS) [25]. In this paper, we analyzed four widely-deployed scheduling algorithms, namely, LowRTT, OTIAS, DAPS and BLEST.…”

One of the goals of 5G is to provide enhanced mobile broadband and enable low latency in some use cases. To achieve this aim, the Internet Engineering Task Force has proposed the Multipath TCP by utilizing the feature of dual connectivity in 5G, where a 5G device can be served by two different base stations. However, the path heterogeneity between the 5G device and the server may cause a packet out-of-order problem. The researchers proposed a number of scheduling algorithms to tackle this issue. This paper introduces the existing algorithms, with the aim to make a thorough comparison between the existing scheduling algorithms and provide the guidelines for designing new scheduling algorithms in 5G, we have conducted an extensive set of emulation studies based on the real Linux experimental platform. The evaluation covers a wide range of network scenarios to investigate the impact of different network metrics, namely, RTT, buffer size, and file size on the performance of existing widely deployed scheduling algorithms. INDEX TERMS 5G, enhanced broadband, Multipath TCP, out-of-order, scheduling algorithm.
