Rate Based Congestion Control for Wireless Links in Information Centric Network
Mahesh R. Patil, L. Agilandeeswari · International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology · 2019
Information-centric networking (ICN) is the prominent network architecture with the features of name based forwarding and in-network caching. These features enables ICN to provide solutions to all demands of the emerging networks. Among the proposed hop by hop congestion control schemes in ICN, almost all schemes assume the available link capacity as known and fixed which is not true for wireless links. Here we propose dynamic link capacity estimation for wireless links using kalman filter and each node maintains the data rate value estimated. Consumer forwards interest with initial data rate, each hop updates estimated data rate in outgoing data packets proactively, then consumer adjusts the data rate according to new value received.
