Abstract

A method of communicating with a User Equipment (UE) through a multipath transmission control protocol is provided. The method includes receiving information, by a first node, on a packet requested by the UE and information on a buffer state of the UE from the UE, exchanging, by the first node, information on a packet to be transmitted/received to/from each of one or more second nodes, determining, by the first node, a combination of packets which maximizes a coding gain and throughput of the UE and a transmission sequence by using the exchanged information on the packet, and transmitting, by the first node, packets to the UE according to the determined combination of the packets and the transmission sequence.
