SOS: Stochastic Object-aware Scheduler for low delay communication over multiple wireless paths

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsConference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we consider the task of scheduling packet transmissions amongst multiple paths with uncertain, time-varying delay. We make the observation that the requirement is usually to transmit application layer objects (web pages, images, video frames etc) with low latency, and so it is the object delay rather than the per packet delay which is important. This has fundamental implications for multipath scheduler design. We introduce SOS (Stochastic Object-aware Scheduler), the first multipath scheduler that considers application layer object sizes and their relationship to link uncertainty. We show how to interface SOS with cwnd-based/ack-clocked congestion control (as usually used in TCP) and show up to 150 improvement in the 95 percentile and mean delay vs MPTCP/minRTT.
