APPARATUS AND METHOD TO ESTIMATE ROUND TRIP TIME VIA TRANSPORT CONTROL PROTOCOL SIGNALS

摘要

The disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product directed to a client estimation of round trip time via transport control protocol (TCP) signals over multiple radio access technologies. A TCP probe signal is transmitted to a server via a TCP connection, and an acknowledgment signal is received from the server via the TCP connection in response to the TCP probe signal. A round trip time is then estimated based on the acknowledgment signal.
