Autonomous congestion control deploying SAURP

Abstract

This paper proposes a congestion control technique for intermittent networks (ICNs), it is a class of mobile ad hoc networks where there does not exist a complete end-to-end path between source and destination. The routing algorithm used is Self Adaptive Utility based Routing Protocol (SAURP) that makes the network self adaptable to the network behavior. Nodes often get congested with too many messages to store and carry. Congestion control in ICNs does not rely on end-end ACK. Congestion here we refer to node/storage congestion. Buffer information is updated in the routing messages. Experimental results through simulation show that this technique improves delivery ratio and delay.
