METHODS OF CONGESTION CONTROL IN MULTI-HOP WIRELESS NETWORK AND APPARATUS PERFORMING THE SAME

摘要

A congestion control method in a multi-hop wireless network and an apparatus for performing the same are provided. In a multi-hop wireless network, a congestion control method includes: receiving queue length information indicating a number of data filled in a queue from at least one neighbor node neighboring a congestion control target node; Determining whether the congestion control target node is congested using the received at least one queue length information; And controlling congestion of the congestion control target node according to the congestion determination of the congestion control target node. Therefore, it is possible to provide many channel access opportunities to handle as many packets as possible at the congested node. It can also reduce packet loss and improve end-to-end throughput within the network.;Multi-hop wireless network, node, queue, queue length information, congestion
