Abstract

In wireless sensor networks, event based applications prone to traffic congestion and unforeseen event detection produce an unremitting generation of traffic throughout the network. The congestion control procedure is used to monitor the process of adapting the total amount of data and concerns to control the network traffic levels to an acceptable value. The performance control mechanism can be conceded through robust congestion control techniques to uphold the operational networks under different conditions. Congestion in sensor networks has to be controlled to achieve high energy efficiency, to prolong the life of the system, improve equity, the quality of service in terms of throughput, packet loss and delay. The information gleaned from an extensive review is shared to reinforce the knowledge base to design a scalable distributed cluster based framework for alleviating buffer based congestion in WSNs and evenly dispense the energy usage among all nodes within the networks. The results show that the proposed technique is simple, efficient and capable of successful dealing with congestion in WSN while preserving the performance characteristics of the network.
