As an emerging network architecture, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is considered to have the potential to meet the new requirements of the Fifth Generation (5G) networks. ICN uses a name decoupled from location to identify content, supports the in-network caching technology, and adopts a receiver-driven model for data transmission. Existing ICN congestion control mechanisms usually first select a nearby replica by opportunistic cache-hits and then insist on adjusting the transmission rate regardless of the congestion state, which cannot fully utilize the characteristics of ICN to improve the performance of data transmission. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a two-level congestion control mechanism, called 2LCCM. It switches the replica location based on a node state table to avoid congestion paths when heavy congestion happens. This 2LCCM mechanism also uses a receiver-driven congestion control algorithm to adjust the request sending rate, in order to avoid link congestion under light congestion. In this paper, the design and implementation of the proposed mechanism are described in detail, and the experimental results show that 2LCCM can effectively reduce the transmission delay when heavy congestion occurs, and the bandwidth-delay product-based congestion control algorithm has better transmission performance compared with a loss-based algorithm.

Congestion in wireless sensor networks can affect the networks performance seriously,not only it has impact on data transmission and the quality of service, but also wastes energy and shortens the network lifetime. Aiming at this issue, this paper proposed a cross-layer congestion control algorithm based on traffic prediction (CCATP), it can take congestion mitigation measures in advance according to the prediction result. CCATP comprises three mechanisms: (i) congestion prediction; (ii) local congestion control mechanism based on backoff time adjustment; (iii) transmission route selection based global congestion control mechanism; Simulation experiment results show that CCATP can reduce the packet loss number and improve the energy efficiency significantly, so as to effectively improve the service performance of network.

Congestion control is a very important problem which can affect network performance directly. However, owing to the lack of steady end-to-end connection and high latency, the traditional congestion control mechanism based on end-to-end feedback is not feasible in DTN. Because obtaining the global information of network is difficult, the congestion control decisions should be made autonomously with local information only. We propose a novel distributed congestion control algorithm based on epidemic routing protocols----MACRE (Message Admission Control based on Rate Estimation). Preliminary experimental results show that this congestion control mechanism can improve the network performance efficiently.

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a new Internet architecture design, which is considered as the global-scale Future Internet (FI) paradigm. Though ICN offers considerable benefits over the existing IP-based Internet architecture, its practical deployment in real life still has many challenges, especially in the case of high congestion and limited power in a sensor enabled-network for the Internet of Things (IoT) era. In this paper, we propose a smart congestion control mechanism to diminish the network congestion rate, reduce sensor power consumptions, and enhance the network performance of ICN at the same time to realize a complete green and efficient ICN-based sensor networking model. The proposed network system uses the chunk-by-chunk aggregated packets according to the content popularity to diminish the number of exchanged packets needed for data transmission. We also design the sensor power-based cache management strategy, and an adaptive Markov-based sensor scheduling policy with selective sensing algorithm to further maximize power savings for the sensors. The evaluation results using ndnSIM (a widely-used ICN simulator) show that the proposed model can provide higher network performance efficiency with lower energy consumption for the future Internet by achieving higher throughput with higher cache hit rate and lower Interest packet drop rate as we increase the number of IoT sensors in ICN.

The main design goals of the multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) are to improve the throughput and share a common bottleneck link fairly with a single-path transmission control protocol (TCP). The existing MPTCP congestion control algorithms achieve the goal of fairness with single-path TCP flows in a shared bottleneck, but they cannot maximize the throughput in nonshared bottlenecks, where multiple subflows traverse different bottleneck links. This is because the MPTCP is designed not to exceed the throughput of a single-path TCP competing in the bottleneck. Therefore, we believe that MPTCP congestion control should have different congestion window control mechanisms, depending on the bottleneck type. In this paper, we propose an adaptive decrease window (ADW) balanced linked adaptation (BALIA) congestion control algorithm that adaptively adjusts the congestion window decrease in order to achieve better throughput in nonshared bottlenecks while maintaining fairness with the single-path TCP flows in shared bottlenecks. The ADW-BALIA algorithm detects shared and nonshared bottlenecks based on delay fluctuations and it uses different congestion window decrease methods for the two types of bottleneck. When the delay fluctuations of the MPTCP subflows are similar, the ADW-BALIA algorithm behaves the same as the existing BALIA congestion control algorithm. If the delay fluctuations are dissimilar, then the ADW-BALIA algorithm adaptively modulates the congestion window reduction. We implement the ADW-BALIA algorithm in the Linux kernel and perform an emulation experiment that is based on various topologies. ADW-BALIA improves the aggregate MPTCP throughput by 20% in the nonshared bottleneck scenario, while maintaining fairness with the single-path TCP in the shared bottleneck scenario. Even in a triple bottleneck topology, where both types of bottlenecks exist together, the throughput increases significantly. We confirmed that the ADW-BALIA algorithm works stably for different delay paths, in competition with CUBIC flows, and with lossy links.

In wireless sensor networks, congestion causes overall channel quality to degrade and loss rates to raise, leads to buffer drops and increased delays, and tends to be grossly unfair toward nodes whose data has to traverse a larger number of radio hops. Hybrid congestion control mechanisms relieve the congestion by creating the new path; when establishment of a new path is failed, fairness aggregate mechanisms limits forward rate, ensures that each source node sends data fairly. Based on energy-saving, algorithms for mild congestion have been improved.

<p class="0abstract"><span lang="EN-US">The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is one of the most emerging messaging protocols that have successfully fulfilled the need of the lightweight feature required to handle communication between constrained devices in IoT environment. However, these devices are generating a huge amount of messages and notifications which cause the network congestion. Then, the challenge addressed in this paper; consists of designing a suitable congestion control mechanism for CoAP that ensures a safe network operation while keeping the use of network resources efficient. To do so, this paper presents an improved congestion control algorithm for the estimation of a Retransmission Time Out (RTO) value to use in each transaction based on the packet loss ratio and the Round-Trip Time RTT of the previous transmission. A comprehensive analysis and evaluation of simulated results show that the proposed mechanism can appropriately achieve higher performance compared to the basic CoAP congestion control and alternative algorithms based on TCP.</span></p>

Congestion is an important issue in the research of end-to-end congestion control. The congestion issue in transmission with TCP is studied. Under the situation of different round trip time and multiple congested gateways, ECC (Explicit Congestion Control) algorithm is proposed to solve the congestion problem of TCP. The basic idea is to explicitly improve Congestion by adding mechanism at both end systems and gateways. Then study the tile congestion of Internet data transmission. Internet data transmission relies on end system mechanisms to keep Congestion. As the number of the users has been very large, this scheme has become vulnerable. It is required to deploy some congestion mechanism at gateways.
