TCP PROXY DEVICE-ASSISTED COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method of a proxy device in a communication system of the present disclosure includes identifying a packet loss rate on a wireless connection between a terminal and a server, determining whether the packet loss rate is greater than a predetermined threshold value, and proxying, if the packet loss rate is greater than the threshold value, the connection between the terminal and the server.
