Abstract

The problem of congestion in sensor networks is significantly different from that of conventional ad-hoc networks and has not been studied to any great extent thus far. In this paper, we focus on providing congestion control from the sink to the sensors in a sensor field. We identify the different reasons for congestion from the sink to the sensors and show the uniqueness of the problem in sensor network environments. We propose a generic framework that addresses congestion from the sink to the sensors in a sensor network. Through ns2 based simulations, we evaluate the proposed approach and compare its performance with three baseline approaches.
