LQCC: A Link Quality-based Congestion Control Scheme in Named Data Networks

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a new communication paradigm that replaces the host addresses by the name of content; Named Data Networking (NDN) is a promising ICN architecture that has attracted research attention in recent years. NDN is a receiver-driven architecture implements pull-based communication in the form of one-interest-one-data. This model poses different challenges, especially from the transport layer perspective. In contact to IP-based networks where the congestion is handled in an end-to-end manner, NDN cannot apply the same concept, while most of the existing solutions are based on hop-by-hop connection. In this paper, we present a new congestion control mechanism for NDN based on link quality estimation. We focus our efforts to provide fast data transmission, decrease packet dropping rate, and maximize the link utilization. The simulation results show that our solution outperforms the NDN schemes in terms of throughput and drop packets.
