Abstract :
<p> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 10); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a temporary network in which the nodes move without any fixed infrastructure. In a MANET, nodes communicate with each other over multiple wireless links and also change network topologies due to mobility of the nodes. In MANET, routing is a challenging issue since it </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 10); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">depends </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 10); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">on several factors like router source, topologies, etc. Congestion control is a significant challenge in MANET. The network gets congested whenever the number of data packets transmitted in the network exceeds beyond its potential. Due to congestion of data, packets get dropped and thereby the network performance is decreased. In this paper, various </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 10); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">literature is </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 10); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">reviewed for </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 10); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">understanding</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 10); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;"> different congestion control algorithms and techniques proposed to avoid congestion. This paper analyses various congestion control schemes which are based on diverse concepts. The present review of the comparison table concludes that, parameters such as end to end delay, packet drop, routing overhead and packet </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 10); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">delivery</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 10); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;"> ratio (PDR) are improved due to the application of congestion control techniques.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom: 10.0pt;margin-left:1.0in;text-align:justify;line-height:200%;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height: 200%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#00000A"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
