Abstract
A method and apparatus for distribution control of traffic when providing a real-time application program service using Multipath Transport Control Protocol (MPTCP) in a heterogeneous wireless network environment are provided. The method of operating a transmitter in a heterogeneous wireless network includes determining a transmission rate of each of the subflows corresponding to each of the networks, and then transmitting traffic through those subflows. The transmission rate for each subflow is determined in consideration of (i) the transmission rate per unit time from the upper layer to the transport control protocol (TCP) layer and (ii) the bottleneck link capacity.
