  Abstract

In wireless sensor networks, due to the many-to-one convergence of upstream traffic, congestion more probably appears. The existing congestion control protocols avoid congestion by controlling incoming traffic, but the duty-cycle operation of MAC(Medium Access Control) layer has not considered. In this paper, we propose DCA(Duty-cycle Based Congestion Avoidance), an energy efficient congestion control scheme using duty-cycle adjustment for wireless sensor networks. The DCA scheme uses both a resource control approach by increasing the packet reception rate of the receiving node and a traffic control approach by decreasing the packet transmission rate of the sending node for the congestion avoidance. Our results show that the DCA operates energy efficiently and achieves reliability by its congestion control scheme in duty-cycled wireless sensor networks.
