Explicit Congestion Control Algorithms for Time Varying Capacity Media

Abstract

One of the main drivers for Internet stability is the congestion control function embedded in the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) [1]. This function controls the bitrate of TCP connections and has been introduced by Van Jacobson in 1988 [2], after reports of congestion collapse emerged [3]. Since then it has helped the Internet through the years of its exponential growth with remarkable success. But this is coming to an end. The ever increasing bandwidth delay product of networks, and the latency and smoothness re-

An Efficient Data Delivery Using Content Aware Service Discovery in Wireless Networks

“…In order to have control over the broadcasts directions, a new method called as the Band-based Directional Broadcast (Li et al, 2011) was introduced that initiate from the sensor nodes but cannot seek additional sensor nodes for data aggregation in combination with band scheduling. Three alternative control algorithms (Abrantes et al, 2011) were designed in transmission media with variable or unknown capacity with low queuing delay and stable throughput.…”
