In all types of communication network, congestion is always an important issue. Congestion in wireless network cause loss of packets, longer delay and throughput degradation. In applications like multimedia, nodes typically produce large amount of data necessitates high transmission rates and more processing, a fundamental concern in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Many sources send data of different applications so weighted fairness is also required. To handle this type of scenario priority based congestion control techniques were discussed. The aim of this paper is to survey existing priority based congestion control techniques to classify them & to discuss their advantages and drawbacks.
General TermsPriority based congestion control algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
