Congestion Control for Multi-flow Traffic in Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

In this paper, we deal with congestion control for multi-flow traffic in wireless mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET). For simulations, we used ns-3 open source network simulator considering Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) routing protocol. We present the MANET performance considering random waypoint mobility model for different number of nodes and different area sizes, by sending multi-flow traffic in the network. We found that coupling congestion control mechanisms between multi-flows have problems in some cases.
