Abstract

as applications in Wireless Sensor Networks are evolving day by day, congestion control remains an open and a critical problem. In wireless sensor networks, congestion occurs when traffic load exceeds maximum buffer capacity that is known as stack overflow. It also occurs because of channel contention, packet collision, reporting rate and dynamically time variable wireless channel conditions. Because of this overall channel quality get degrade and leads to buffer drops and increased delays. Hence in this paper we are going to use such a hybrid congestion control algorithm which can bridge two different techniques so that nodes in the network are able to understand which algorithm they should go with depending on the type of congestion occurs in a network.
