The divided partial data is transmitted using a plurality of heterogeneous networks (eg, 3G and WiFi), and a simultaneous transmission service for combining the received partial data and restoring the original data is implemented.

Therefore, the simultaneous transmission service provided by the present invention transmits the partial data divided from one data simultaneously using a plurality of heterogeneous networks (eg, 3G and WiFi), and thus uses heterogeneous networks (eg, 3G and WiFi). It is important to determine the data transmission rate optimally based on the transmission rate of partial data to each network according to the situation of).

Therefore, for simultaneous transmission service, it is necessary to measure the situation (eg data rate) of each network by using Heartbeat (a kind of keepalive message), Sequence Number and ACK combination, and then adjust the data transmission rate for each network based on this. It will be possible. However, since network quality (throughput, delay, loss, etc.) between networks is different from each other, it is expected that there will be a limit in obtaining optimal measurement results when network conditions are measured using the same time.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the management apparatus 400 sets a data transmission rate measurement interval for each of two or more networks, selects partial data divided from the transmission target data for each access network based on a preset data transmission rate for each access network, The identification information for checking the data transmission rate is inserted into at least one partial data corresponding to the set data transmission rate measurement interval among the selected partial data for each access network, and the selected partial data is transmitted through two or more networks.

In addition, the reception apparatus 100 may variably set the data transmission rate for each preset access network based on the measured data transmission rate for each access network (eg, 3G and WiFi).

For example, the reception apparatus 100 provides the data transmission rate for each of the access network (for example, 3G and WiFi) measured to the management device 400, thereby causing the management device 400 to set data for each connection network preset to the management device 400. The transmission rate may be set variable by reflecting the data transmission rate for each access network measured this time.
