To solve this problem, a novel Congestion Alleviation Procedure (CAP) has been proposed. It exploits the characteristics of the sensor nodes and the wireless links between them. CAP mitigates congestion reactively by either bypassing the affected node and wireless link or rerouting the traffic to a less congested and energy efficient route. The performance evaluation based on the simulation performed in the network simulator (ns-2.35) shows that CAP improves Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) by 45, throughput by 39, ETE delay by 32, and energy consumption per data packet by 47 as compared to No Congestion Control (NOCC) mechanism. © 2016 IEEE. date: 2017 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85011957103&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS.2016.7824084&partnerID=40&md5=c2ef48ef687014d9ccfcd41ef528e5c6 id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS.2016.7824084 full_text_status: none publication: International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2016 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781509008452 citation: Chughtai, O. and Badruddin, N. and Awang, A.
