nowadays, congestion management is one of the major tasks accomplished by system operators to warrant the operation of transmission system within operating limits. this has resulted in unanticipated congestion interfaces in regional transmission systems. the system is, however, unable to evolve at a rate which is required to meet the quickly changing demand of competitive markets. to make the m...

rate allocation has become a demanding task in data networks as diversity in users and traffics proliferate. most commonly used algorithm in end hosts is tcp. this is a loss based scheme therefore it exhibits oscillatory behavior which reduces network performance. moreover, since the price for all sessions is based on the aggregate throughput, losses that are caused by tcp affect other sessions...

Congestion and overloading for lines are the main problems in the exploitation of power grids. The consequences of these problems in deregulated systems can be mentioned as sudden jumps in prices in some parts of the power system, lead to an increase in market power and reduction of competition in it. FACTS devices are efficient, powerful and economical tools in controlling power flows through ...

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN’s), congestion plays an important role in degrading the performance of the network. Under idle condition, the network load is very low whereas when an event is detected the network load becomes high which leads to congestion. Due to congestion the overall performance of the network degrades. Hence it is necessary to detect and control congestion. In this paper a...

Congestion plays a vital role in degrading the performance of the network. Under idle condition, network traffic is less whereas when an event is detected, the network traffic becomes high thus leading to congestion in the network. To ensure the reliability of the network an efficient protocol is proposed to detect and control congestion. Though there are various sources for congestion, the sig...

Problem statement: In most of the existing works either detection of congestion or scheme for congestion control in wireless sensor networks are presented. A very few works have been done, taken in to account of both congestion detection and congestion control. In most of the congestion detection works they have not achieved accuracy in detecting congestion and have resulted with high latency t...

The performance of transport layer protocols can be affected differently due to wireless congestion, as opposed to network congestion. Using an active network evaluation strategy in a real world test-bed experiment, the Transport Control Protocol (TCP), Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), and Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) were evaluated to determine their effectiveness in te...

Here in this paper A MAC layer level congestion detection mechanism has been proposed. The proposed model aims to deliver an energy efficient mechanism to quantify the degree of congestion at victim node with maximal accuracy. This congestion detection mechanism is integrated with a Two-Step Cross Layer Congestion Control Routing Protocol. The proposed model involves controlling of congestion i...

The IETF’s standard congestion control schemes have been widely shown to be inadequate for various environments (e.g., high-speed networks). Recent research has yielded many alternate congestion control schemes that significantly differ from the IETF’s congestion control principles. Using these new congestion control schemes in the global Internet has possible ramifications to both the traffic ...
