Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and a system for converging a 5th-generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-generation (4G) system with a technology for internet of things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method of a communication apparatus includes determining an acknowledgement (ACK) transmission frequency for each flow, based on a state of a transmission control protocol (TCP) transmitter, identifying whether uplink resources are insufficient, selecting a flow for adjustment of the ACK transmission frequency when the uplink resources are insufficient, and adjusting the ACK transmission frequency of the selected flow.
