Abstract
In a method for providing application services to a user in a communications network, a first multi-path transport control protocol (MPTCP) flow is mapped to a first evolved packet system (EPS) bearer associated with a first serving base station for the user, and a second MPTCP flow is mapped to a second EPS bearer associated with a second serving base station for the user. The first MPTCP flow is output on the first EPS bearer for delivery to the user through the first serving base station, and the second MPTCP flow is output on the second EPS bearer for delivery to the user through the second serving base station. Each of the first and second MPTCP flows correspond to a same multipath transport control protocol MPTCP connection for an application.
