Supporting QoS (Quality of Service) for the multimedia applications becomes an important issue as the demand of multimedia applications increases. Thus, it is necessary for the application layer to have an efficient congestion control algorithm, which can support the multimedia applications' QoS requirements. In this paper, we propose a new application layer congestion control algorithm, called RRC-OTT (Receiver-based Rate Control with One-way Trip Time). RRC-OTT algorithm differs from the previously proposed algorithms in that the receiver takes the responsibility of the network congestion control. Thus, RRC-OTT algorithm can not only precisely estimate the network congestion using OTT (one-way Trip Time), but reduce the work load from the sender (e.g., the web server). Our simulation study shows that RRC-OTT algorithm can maintain the comparable link utilization to the previously proposed algorithms and keep the packet jitter low, which thus can help enhance the quality of multimedia applications.

The EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm) is one of the explicit rate control algorithm recommended by the ATM forum. EPRCA algorithm is using only two threshold to buffer change is not considered for calculating ER value. In this paper to cover the shortage, two more variables are added for considering increase of buffer quantity. So calculating proper ER would avoid before getting into the congestion situation. To analysis the affect, EPRCA and proposed algorithm are compared through simulation by analysis of change of buffer length and ACR change

There are sendee_based research and receiver_based research for dynamic adaptation to network congestion which arises from multicast video conference ; the former results in bandwidth waste of receivers who use high available bandwidth on account of average loss rate in transmission rate, the latter in short of the method that divides layers of available bandwidth of receivers dynamically. In order to do so, in this paper, we established two multicast groups divided into non-congestion status and congestion status according to receiver's network state, and implemented the bandwidth management algorithm which is designed for providing receivers with profitable qualities for available bandwidth by letting them choose each group dynamically in reference to loss rate. As a result, experiments proved that bandwidth waste problem was improved by receiver's dynamic choice according to loss rate.

In this paper, a feedforward-plus-feedback control scheme is presented to prevent congestion in store-and-forward packet switching networks. The control scheme consists of two algorithms. Specifically, the input traffic adjustment algorithm employs a fairness policy such that the transmission rate of the input traffic is proportional to its offered rate. The control signal computation algorithms to ensure stability of the overall system in the robust sense and to ensure the desired transient behavior in the adaptive, with respect to variations of input traffic, are designed.

Assuming that a wireless link is mostly used at the network edge and the wireless NIC driver keeps monitoring the error rate of its link, this paper proposes an enhanced TCP congestion control, TCP-L (TCP Link-Aware). TCP-L predicts true congestion losses occurred inside the wired link area by utilizing the wireless link error rate. As a result, it mitigates performance degradation caused from TCP congestion control actions when segments losses occur in a wireless link. Experimental results show that TCP-L provides better performance and fairness in lossy wireless links than existing TCP congestion control schemes. Our approach utilizing the characteristic of the link at TCP could be well adapted to new wireless environments such as Cognitive Radio and ACK-less IEEE 802.11, where a frame may be delivered with a very long delay or lost in the link.

This paper proposes a congestion avoidance algorithm which provides stable throughput and transmission rate regardless of buffer size by limiting the TCP congestion window in fixed bandwidth networks. Additive Increase, Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) is the most commonly used congestion control algorithm. But, the AIMD-based TCP congestion control method causes unnecessary packet losses and retransmissions from the congestion window increment for available bandwidth verification when used in fixed bandwidth networks. In addition, the saw tooth variation of TCP throughput is inappropriate to be adopted for the applications that require low bandwidth variation. We present an algorithm in which congestion window can be limited under appropriate circumstances to avoid congestion losses while still addressing fairness issues. The maximum congestion window is determined from delay information to avoid queueing at the bottleneck node, hence stabilizes the throughput and the transmission rate of the connection without buffer and window control process. Simulations have performed to verify compatibility, steady state throughput, steady state packet loss count, and the variance of congestion window. The proposed algorithm can be easily adopted to the sender and is easy to deploy avoiding changes in network routers and user programs. The proposed algorithm can be applied to enhance the performance of the high-speed access network which is one of the fixed bandwidth networks.

For energy-efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), when a sensor node detects events, the sensing period for collecting the detailed information is likely to be short. The lifetime of WSNs decreases because communication modules are used excessively on a specific sensor node. To solve this problem, the TARP decentralized network packets to neighbor nodes. It considered the average data transmission rate as well as the data distribution. However, since the existing scheme did not consider the energy consumption of a node in WSNs, its network lifetime is reduced. In this paper, we propose an energy awareness congestion control scheme based on genetic algorithms in WSNs. The proposed scheme considers the remaining amount of energy and the transmission rate on a single node in fitness evaluation. Since the proposed scheme performs an efficient congestion control, it extends the network lifetime. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with the existing scheme through performance evaluation. It is shown that the proposed scheme enhances the data fairness and improves the network lifetime by about 27% on average over the existing scheme.

Previous work only focuses on a maximization of network coding opportunity since it can reduce the number of packets in network system. However, it can make congestion in a relay node as each source node may transmit each packet with the maximum transmission rate based on the channel qualities. Therefore, in this paper, we propose CmNC (Congestion minimized Network Coding over unreliable wireless links) performing opportunistic network coding to guarantee the network coding gain with the consideration of the congestion and channel qualities. The relay node selects the best network code set based on the objective function for reducing the packet loss and congestion via a dynamic programming. With Qualnet simulations, we show CmNC is better up to 20% than the previous work.

This paper suggests an improved TCP congestion algorithm, which is more robust to lossy wireless environment than other algorithms such as TCP-Reno. The suggested algorithm decides on the size of a congestion window depending on both PER (Packet Error Rate) and its state, which is one of fast recovery state and slow start state. Some simulations are given to validate the suggested algorithm and the algorithm is compared with other TCP congestion algorithm from the point of view of performance measures such as a congestion window and throughput. The suggested algorithm has better throughput than other algorithm over wireless links with high PER and similar throughput to others over wireless links with low BER.

Differentiated services (DiffServ) has been widely accepted as the service model to adopt for providing quality-of­service (QoS) over the next-generation IP networks. There is a growing need to support QoS in mobile ad hoc networks. Supporting DiffServ in mobile ad hoc networks, however, is very difficult because of the dynamic nature of mobile ad hoc networks, which causes network congestion. The network congestion induces long transfer packet delay and low throughput which make it very difficult to support QoS in mobile ad hoc networks. We propose DiffServ module to support differentiated service in mobile ad hoc networks through congestion control. Our DiffServ module uses the periodical rate control for real time traffic and also uses the best effort bandwidth concession when network congestion occurs. Network congestion is detected by measuring the packet transfer delay or bandwidth threshold of real time traffic. We evaluate our mechanism via a simulation study. Simulation results show our mechanism may offer a low and stable delay and a stable throughput for real time traffic in mobile ad hoc networks.
