RSS congestionTCP Westwood: Congestion Window Control Using Bandwidth Estimation
White Paper This paper studies the performance of TCP Westwood (TCPW), a new TCP protocol with a sender-side modification of the window congestion control scheme. The estimated connection rate is then used to compute congestion window and slow start threshold... [04 Dec 2007]
Congestion Sensitive Downlink Power Control for Wideband CDMA Systems
White Paper The model is based on microeconomics, and takes into account both the congestion, in terms of increased interference, that a mobile user imposes to other users, and the downlink resource constraint, which involves the total transmission power at... [29 Jul 2004]
Congestion Control Policies for IP-Based CDMA Radio Access Networks
White Paper This paper studies the impact of congestion in a best-effort IP RAN on CDMA cellular voice networks. The paper proposes and evaluates three congestion control mechanisms, admission control, diversity control, and router control, to maximize network... [29 Jul 2004]
Congestion-busting signs tested on motorway
News The congestion-busting sign system, which is being trialled by the Highways Agency, uses historical traffic data plus information from automatic number plate recognition cameras on the motorways to inform drivers of the expected travel time to... [01 Aug 2006]
Congestion Control and an Analysis of TCP-Friendly Rate Control
White Paper This paper presents a history of congestion control research and an analysis of a specific rate-based congestion control protocol, TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC). Two taxonomies of congestion control mechanisms are presented, and later used to... [14 Jan 2008]
Congestion and Corruption Loss Detection With Enhanced-TCP
White Paper This paper presents how TCP is tuned to differentiate between corruption and congestion losses. In the Internet area, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most commonly used transport protocol. [14 Jan 2008]
TCP Westwood: Congestion Control With Faster Recovery
White Paper This paper proposes a new version of the TCP protocol, called TCP Westwood, which enhances the performance of TCP window congestion control by using as feedback the end-to-end measurement of the bandwidth available along a TCP connection. [04 Dec 2007]
Congestion Propagation Among Routers in the Internet
White Paper For instance, it is reported that congestion of a router propagates to neighboring routers like a wave. Several researches on congestion propagation among routers have been performed. However, in these researches, cause of congestion propagation... [05 Dec 2007]
Congestion Pricing for Highways
White Paper As commuters in most large urban areas can affirm, highway congestion has become a serious problem that carries high costs in terms of time. It is unlikely that the United States could ever "build its way out of congestion," even with massive... [05 Jul 2005]
Congestion Control Mechanism of TCP for Achieving Predictable Throughput
White Paper This paper proposes a congestion control mechanism of TCP for achieving predictable throughput. It does not mean one can guarantee the throughput, while one can provide the throughput required by an upper-layer application at high probability when... [20 Dec 2007]
Congestion Control Advancements in Linux
White Paper This paper describes the recent advancements in network congestion control in the Linux kernel. Specifically the paper focuses on the TCP congestion framework, and the implementation of the DCCP protocol stack. [01 Apr 2007]
SCTP and TCP Variants: Congestion Control Under Multiple Losses
White Paper Inefficiency in the current specification of SCTP's congestion control is characterized, which degrades performance when there are multiple packet losses in a single window. First, a Fast Recovery mechanism, similar to that of New-Reno TCP, is... [05 Dec 2007]
Congestion Control in Linux TCP
White Paper TCP performance is strongly influenced by its congestion control algorithms that limit the amount of transmitted traffic based on the estimated network capacity and utilization. The authors describe the fundamentals of the Linux TCP design... [03 Apr 2007]
Congestion Analysis in a General GPRS Network
White Paper This paper deals with congestion analysis of a GPRS network composed of N cells partially overlapping. In particular, it is consider that one of the cells is affected by an outage and it analyze the effectiveness of applying a class of congestion... [25 Jun 2004]
Congestion charging: Here's 'In-car Ken' to tell you when to pay
News From Monday, any driver coming in to central London will have to pay Mayor Ken Livingstone's controversial congestion charge. A large 'C' on the road marks the boundary of the congestion charge zone but if that's not enough for you, how about... [14 Feb 2003]
