Abstract
The satellite-terrestrial integrated network (STIN) can pro- vide ubiquitous coverage.However, the eature longer transmission delays, higher bit error rates and frequency switches, which challenge the design of the transmission communication protocols to perform well. In particular, users usually have a very short view time of the satellites. The improvement of transmission efficiency cannot be ignored to complete the transmission of a certain amount of information. The multi-path methods are promised to facilitate the efficiency of packet transmission, which can provide service even the links between the satellite and the ground in poor channel conditions. This paper proposes a multi-path transmission control protocol for STIN, named MPTCP. The proposed MPTCP decomposes the data in the network into multi-flows and then transmits the flows on multi-unrelated paths. We implement the MPTCP in a simulation SDN environment of STIN. The results show that the proposed MPTCP performs better than traditional TCP and ECMP (Equal Cost Multipath Routing) schemes in end-to-end and pack loss.
