“…22, we plot the locations of all bottleneck nodes. According to our previous result in [9], [10], [11], most bottleneck nodes are located at bottlenecks identified by our network partition rule. When a bottleneck node is just one hop away from our bottleneck links, this node is called "on bottlenecks"; if it is two hops away, it is called "near bottlenecks"; and the remaining bottleneck nodes are called "far away".…”

Flow control in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) encounters more challenges than flow control in conventional wired networks, such as channel bandwidth variation, medium contention, and frequent re-routing. Without proper flow control, serious network performance degradation in MANETs has been reported in recent studies. In this paper, we introduce a distributed bottleneck flow control technique in MANETs. The proposed scheme uses a distributed flow control mechanism that has been used in both bottleneck flow control and bandwidth balancing in Distributed-Queue-Dual-Bus (DQDB) in wired networks. It extends bandwidth balancing to operate in a mobile wireless environment. Extensive simulations demonstrate that our flow control scheme is effective and can provide max-min fairness as well as improve Quality of Service (QoS) for flows in MANETs.

“…In our previous research [7], [8], [9], we introduced a macro model to perform flow and access control in frequently changing mobile networks. The macro model represents a wireless network as a collection of super nodes and links that resemble a wired network.…”
