Linkdb-TCP: A Congestion Control Technique For MANET Based On Link Layer Measurements
B. C. Sreenivasa, G. C. Bhanu Prakash · 2023
Detection and control of congestion in Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) is a challenging task. Congestion hurts performance and reduces the throughput of the system. Thus it is imperative to avoid or control congestion in the network. Congestion control algorithms provided by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is specially designed for wired communication and performs poorly in the case of ad-hoc networks. This paper presents a Link-Layer Congestion control algorithm for MANETs, which detects congestion in the network by carrying out an end-to-end analysis. The congestion window is appropriately modified if congestion persists in the system. The new congestion window is communicated to the sender, and its behavior is altered accordingly. The algorithm can be seamlessly incorporated into TCP for practical use
