MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611009459 A) filed by Dr. Malaya Kumar Nayak; Professor Rasoul Khandan; and Monalisa Nayak, London, on Jan. 29, for 'system and method for network-capacity based congestion detection and control in mobile ad hoc networks.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Malaya Kumar Nayak; Professor Rasoul Khandan; and Monalisa Nayak.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a network-capacity based congestion control system for mobile ad hoc networks. The system embeds a Network-Capacity Based Congestion (NCBC) control module inside a reactive multipath routing stack. During route discovery, nodes measure channel availability and queue occupancy and only admit nodes with sufficient residual buffer and bandwidth into candidate paths. At run time, queue-monitoring logic and channel-utilisation sensing detect onset of congestion by comparing incoming and outgoing flow rates and radio-channel usage. A modified CSMA/CA access scheme with RTS/CTS signalling and jamming feedback dynamically throttles transmission rate and arbitrates channel access among contending transmitters, while a dynamic queue manager resizes per-node buffers to absorb temporary bursts. The system redistributes traffic over multiple paths, reduces packet loss from collision and queue overflow, and lowers delay and routing overhead compared with AOMDV and DSR routing in dense MANET scenarios. The solution is suitable for resource-constrained mobile devices."
