An approach for congestion control in sensor network using priority based application

Published:31 January 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

Congestion causes packet loss which in turn drastically decreases network performance and throughput. As sensors are energy constraint so it is a decisive task to detect congestion and perform congestion control. Additionally, varieties of application have different requirement (i.e. delay, link utilization, and packet loss). In this paper we proposed an application priority based rate control algorithm to mitigate congestion in sensor network. This approach also maintains an interactive queue management scheme so that requirements of different application can be fulfilled. To ensure varieties application priority, concept of intra queue priority and inter queue priority are evolved. Node priority based hop by hop rate adjustment is also proposed here to ensure high link utilization. Finally experimental outputs have demonstrated the effectiveness of this task and show a noticeable performance in terms of energy analysis and throughput of the network.
