Congestion Control In Wireless Peer Networks

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a continuous self configuring infrastructure less network of mobile devices connected without wires. In this network several nodes exchange packets simultaneously to the destination node. Due to congestion in the network the transmitted packets doesn’t get delivered to destination efficiently. So here AODV (Ad Hoc On Demand Distance Vector) protocol with ATIM (Ad Hoc Traffic Indication Message) window is used to overcome   the problem of congestion and power saving is done through IEEE 802.11 power saving mechanisms. The conclusion of the paper is done by evaluating the performance of the AODV protocol with respect to Delay, Energy and Packet delivery fraction.
