A channel trust based approach for congestion control in IoT

In the present age of Internet of Things (Iot), congestion control has become an essential research area. The idea behind congestion control originated from the perspective of network bandwidth, node processing ability and server capacities. As more and more people and devices get connected over the net, the need for congestion control increases. In IoT, the monitoring device observes such network features like flow and capacity of a link in network, number and size of distinct flows. In this paper we present literature review of some of existing congestion control mechanisms. A congestion control model has also been proposed, which uses the measure of channel trust for decision making.
