Abstract—In some special circumstances, e.g. tsunamis, floods, battlefields, earthquakes, etc., communication infrastructures are damaged or non-existent, as well as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cluster. For the communication between people or UAVs, UAVs or mobile smart devices (MSDs) can be used to construct Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), and Multipath TCP (MPTCP) can be used to simultaneously transmit in one TCP connection via multiple interfaces of MSDs. However the original MPTCP subpaths creating algorithm can establish multiple subpaths between two adjacent nodes, thus cannot achieve true concurrent data transmission. To solve this issue, we research and improve both the algorithm of adding routing table entries and the algorithm of establishing subpaths to offer more efficient use of multiple subpaths and better network traffic load balancing. The main works are as follows: (1) improve multi-hop routing protocol; (2) run MPTCP on UAVs or MSDs; (3) improve MPTCP subpaths establishment algorithm. The results show that our algorithms have better performance than the original MPTCP in achieving higher data throughput.
