Dynamic Queue Synchronization for Congestion Control Over Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Congestion control over resource constrained sensor network is a critical challenge and it is also quite hard to fulfill the QoS constraints for end users. In this paper, a dynamic queue synchronization (DQS) scheme is introduced that can alter the data rate dynamically as per the current buffer length. Its performance is compared with existing schemes i.e., Dynamic Round Robin (DRR) and Random Early Discard (RED) using different routing protocols i.e., LEACH/PEGASIS/TEEN under various constraints (Throughput/End-to-End Delay/Routing Load/Energy).
