Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have over the years emerged as a vital technology for monitoring and collecting essential data from their deployed environment, however excessive network congestion can cause packet loss, network delays, low throughput, increased network buffering and retransmission thereby shortening the lifetime of sensor nodes. Congestion control is essential for WSN but efficient utilization of resources is vital in achieving maximum Quality of Service (QoS) of the network. In this paper, the researchers present a comprehensive analysis of recent congestion control techniques in WSNs. The aim is to examine how these congestion control mechanisms operate and highlight their weaknesses. In addition, this paper also aims at setting criteria that researchers should achieve when developing congestion control techniques in WSNs.

Keywords: Wireless Sensor Networks; Quality of Service; Congestion Control
