FLOW CONTROL NODE, A TRANSMISSION NODE, A FLOW CONTROL METHOD, AND A TRANSMISSION RATE CONTROL METHOD CAPABLE OF MANAGING THROUGHPUT FAIRNESS OF FLOWS CAPABLE OF PREVENTING THE LOSS OF NETWORK BANDWIDTH

摘要

PURPOSE: A flow control node, a transmission node, a flow control method, and a transmission rate control method are provided to control the throughput fairness of flows in a wireless multi-hop network environment.;CONSTITUTION: A flow state collecting unit(310) receives flow monitoring information from a transmission node. A fairness evaluation unit(330) evaluates whether the bandwidth distribution of the network is fairly based on the flow monitoring information. A transmission rate controlling unit(350) transmits transmission rate information to the transmission node. The transmission rate control information is a critical value for the queue length of the transmission node.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
