Application aware concurrent multipath transmission in hybrid wireless networks

In the paper we present the Application-Aware Con-current Multipath Transmission (AACMT) concept that enables multi-homed terminal to use application-aware concurrent data forwarding over multiple paths. The AACMT forwarding takes into account the instantaneous application's traffic requirements and the quality of the available paths. It is a network agnostic solution-in order to be deployed it only requires the AACMT agents at both ends of connection. AACMT utilizes the congestion avoidance and control mechanisms to properly allocate data over available paths. In the paper we described the concept as well as its evaluation for a multi-homed terminal connected simultaneously to LTE and WiFi networks.
