A Survey on Congestion Control Algorithms in MANET

M. Rajeswari, N. Kasi Viswanath

Abstract :

 Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a temporary network in which the nodes move without any fixed infrastructure. In a MANET, nodes communicate with each other over multiple wireless links and also change network topologies due to mobility of the nodes. In MANET, routing is a challenging issue since it depends on several factors like router source, topologies, etc. Congestion control is a significant challenge in MANET. The network gets congested whenever the number of data packets transmitted in the network exceeds beyond its potential. Due to congestion of data, packets get dropped and thereby the network performance is decreased. In this paper, various literature is reviewed for understanding different congestion control algorithms and techniques proposed to avoid congestion. This paper analyses various congestion control schemes which are based on diverse concepts. The present review of the comparison table concludes that, parameters such as end to end delay, packet drop, routing overhead and packet delivery ratio (PDR) are improved due to the application of congestion control techniques.
