Better Internet via Multiple Mobiles using MPTCP Model

A hotspot is one of the solutions if a device without network access (referred to as End User Client in this paper) needs to be connected to the Internet. In hotspot the device without Internet (End User Client) uses the Internet services provided by other device which has Internet connectivity. The bandwidth of the hotspot is shared amongst both the devices. Even though there may be multiple device to connect to for hotspot, a device is allowed to be connected to only a single device.To improve the Internet connectivity and get a higher bandwidth, the End User Client is connected to multiple devices (referred to as peer devices) having Internet connectivity via Wi-Fi Direct and share bandwidth amongst them. The device can use the Internet connection of each of the devices for downloading and uploading data. However, servers would send data to the device only via a single route i.e. via the single device it is connected to. To make use of the bandwidth of multiple devices, the server would have to send subsets of the data via each of the peer devices which would then be combined at the End User Client. This solution is based on the Multipath TCP (MPTCP) protocol. In MPTCP a single device uses multiple adapters (for example Ethernet+Wi-Fi+4G) to achieve multiple connections to the Internet. Here a single device uses multiple mobiles connected over Wi-Fi Direct to achieve multiple connections to the Internet.
