Server-push service in heterogeneous network environment

A method of controlling a transmission path of a server push service by a server in a heterogeneous multipath transmission environment where the server includes at least one processor, at least one memory, and a communication circuit, the method comprising:

• determining whether frames provided from an application layer are associated with the server push service when the frames are requested to be transmitted to a user equipment;
• selecting at least one transmission path based on a predetermined selection condition from multiple transmission paths established between the user equipment and the server;
• and
• transmitting, through the selected at least one transmission path, the frames associated with the server push service to the user equipment,
• wherein the determining is performed based on a push stream identifier (ID) assigned to target push-contents to be pushed to the user equipment.

A server of controlling a transmission path of a server push service in a heterogeneous multipath transmission environment, the server comprising at least one processor, at least one memory, and a communication circuit,

• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine whether frames provided from an application layer are associated with the server push service when the frames are requested to be transmitted to a user equipment;
• select at least one transmission path based on a predetermined selection condition from multiple transmission paths established between the user equipment and the server;
• and
• packetize the frames associated with the server push service and transmit the packetized frames to the user equipment through the selected at least one transmission path;
• and
• wherein the determining of the at least one processor is performed based on a push stream identifier (ID) assigned to target push-contents to be pushed to the user equipment.
