This work addresses the problem of traffic splitting for improving the overall delay jitter performance in the uplink multi-access system. We propose a packet-scheduling paradigm based on stochastic approximation algorithm to distribute the source traffic across the multiple network paths/interfaces. We first provide an analytical model and the delay jitter analysis for an individual interface. Later we formulate the traffic splitting problem as an optimization problem to learn the optimal split across the interfaces. We share the experimental results for the video and constant bit rate traffic on real networks (Wi-Fi or cellular networks) and convergence of our system using the proposed scheme in the dynamic network environment. The paradigm proposed in the paper is general and can be adapted to different objective functions.

这项工作解决了流量拆分问题，以提高上行链路多址系统中的整体延迟抖动性能。我们提出了一种基于随机逼近算法的数据包调度范式，用于在多个网络路径/接口之间分配源流量。我们首先为单个接口提供分析模型和延迟抖动分析。稍后我们将流量拆分问题制定为优化问题，以学习跨接口的最佳拆分。我们分享了真实网络（Wi-Fi 或蜂窝网络）上视频和恒定比特率流量的实验结果，以及在动态网络环境中使用所提出的方案收敛我们的系统。论文中提出的范式是通用的，可以适应不同的目标函数。
