The growing popularity of multihoming techniques has motivated the rise of multipath protocols. Multipath TCP (MPTCP), as an extension of TCP, can use multiple paths to deliver data in parallel without influencing any functionality of TCP. Although applying MPTCP to mobile terminals for data transmi...
