Ml based fair flow control mechanism for tcp in core network

A method of providing congestion control and reducing latency of data incoming to a core network, the method performed by a user plane gateway, comprising:

• receiving a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) synchronization packet from a plurality of user equipments, wherein the TCP synchronization packet comprises a receive window (RWND) size of each of the plurality of user equipments;
• determining whether the RWND size of each of the plurality of user equipments is greater than an optimal window size;
• based on a determination that the RWND size is greater than the optimal window size, selectively transmitting the TCP synchronization packet with an updated RWND size to a server;
• and
• based on a determination that the RWND size is less than or equal to the optimal window size, selectively transmitting the TCP synchronization packet with the RWND size to the server.

An electronic device comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• monitor values of key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with a plurality of user plane gateways of a core network;
• predict, using a machine learning (ML) model, an optimal window size respectively for each of the plurality of user plane gateways based on the monitored values of the KPIs;
• and
• transmit the optimal window size to the respective user plane gateway in the plurality of user plane gateways.
