Abstract

Wireless networks are subject to high levels of congestion. This problem is intensified in adhoc wireless networks, given their multi-hop nature. There are solutions that mitigate this problem (i.e., medium access control, packet flow control, in-network caching, redundant packet aggregation), but these are inefficient on shared media. Therefore, we propose ITCC, a congestion control strategy for named-data network based on dynamic node suppression. This solution chooses forwarding nodes in order to reduce the number of redundant packet transmissions. The results of ITCC indicate that the solution complements the functioning of NDN networks, being effective both in mitigating congestion and in optimizing the delivery of NDN data packets.
