Abstract
In order to solve the problem of buffer congestion caused by multipath transmission, we present Blocking Time-based MPTCP (MPTCP-BT) in heterogeneous network. The proposed algorithm designs a new metric path blocking delay (PBD) and compared it with the receiver buffer to determine whether using a path would cause blocking, and then selects specific subflows set to transfer data. Our evaluation proves that MPTCP-BT allows a reduce by 9.45% in average completion time and decreasing number of out-of-order (OFO) packets by 58.5% as compared against default MPTCP and other schedulers. The experimental results show that the MPTCP-BT algorithm reduces the OFO packets in receiving terminal and improves the throughput.
