Abstract

A new method of congestion control in wireless sensor network is described. We make a simple but innovative modification to the increase–decrease algorithm to improve its performance. The modification proposed uses additive as well as multiplicative operation for both increase and decrease phases. Basically, we consider a single-link multisource system. The sending rate of each source is optimally controlled to prevent the congestion of the common link. The rate control at sources is adjusted based on the feedback signal from the destination. The proposed method provides efficiency, fairness, and fast convergence.
