Abstract
A system and method to control congestion in a multihopping wireless communication network (). The system and method distribute the congestion information back to the ingress points () and traffic source nodes () in the network () through the actual route of the data flow that contributes to the congestion. The system and method therefore avoid bottleneck points (-) in the network () to reduce congestion. The system and method can be used for packet-based, route-based or flow-based traffic shaping in a multihop wireless network () employing different media access control (MAC) and routing layer protocols. Moreover, the system and method is capable of distributing congestion and service differentiation information between different interfaces in the network ().
