Congestion Control Techniques in WSNs: A Review

Abstract

Congestion control has a great importance in wireless sensor network (WSN), where efficient application of congestion control mechanisms can prolong the network lifetime. Thus, proper examination is needed to improve more refine way to address the congestion occurrence and resolution. While designing congestion control techniques, the maximum output can be achieved by efficient utilization of required resources within WSN. From last few years several approaches have been brought in, that consist of routing protocols which provide support with congestion control, congestion prevention, and reliable data routing. In old schemes the topology reset and extent traffic drop take place because sink node executes the congestion avoidance. Therefore, node level congestion avoidance, detection, congestion preventing, and resolution mechanisms have been proposed during past few years. Our paper provides a brief overview and performance comparison of centralized and distributed congestion control algorithms in WSN.
