Congestion control research of underwater acoustic networks

Congestion control is the key technology to ensure quality of network service. In underwater acoustic communication networks an important research area is how to control network congestion. Once detect the network congestion, we should take measures to solve congestion and make network return to normal data transmission. In this paper, we use congestion controller to solve network congestion problems. The simulation is done by software platform of OPNET and the results show that the mechanism we studied is feasible. It can resolve the network congestion effectively, achieve higher network throughput and less data packet delay.
