Efficient Traffic Scheduling and Congestion Control Mechanism in Wireless Networks

Major challenge in the hyper speed networks is to handle the traffic along with the congestion to control which arises because of number of reasons. Congestion on network leads to data transmission delay along with loss of data, increased transmission time and performance of the channel. In this project the potential of packet scheduling as a means to control traffic and improve performance has been proposed. The limitation of existing traffic scheduling algorithm Weighted Round Robin (WRR) and Deficit Weighted Round Robin(DWRR) has been addressed by proposing a new hybrid algorithm called as Efficient Traffic Scheduling Algorithm which ensures the reliable packet transfer between two parties. This proposed algorithm improves the Quality of Service by focusing on three parameters such as Packet drop ratio, Throughput, Time delay. Using this queuing model that take into account the nature of traffic, we draw a practical conclusions about the expected gains and limits of scheduling.
