Cloud model and sensor network are the research hotspots in recent years. This paper proposes a congestion and rate control strategy for wireless sensor networks based on cloud model. It adjusts the input rate of nodes based on cloud model through node congestion detection. Aiming at the problem of network congestion control, two congestion adjustment algorithms based on red are improved. Congestion threshold and congestion degree are used as the basis of packet transmission rate adjustment to realize network support plug control. In this paper, the congestion control strategy NP starts to alleviate congestion at about 40 s and controls the packet loss rate at about 116 packets/s, which is 45.3% lower than the multipath congestion control strategy and is more stable. However, when

, the packet loss rate of the double congestion threshold algorithm is 20% lower than that of the single congestion threshold algorithm. The reason is that the double congestion threshold algorithm allows a stronger source rate control mechanism earlier than the single congestion threshold algorithm a large number of packets are lost in a point, but this also makes the network performance relatively low.
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.
