This paper investigates congestion detection and control strategies for multi-path traffic (CDCM) dissemination in lifetime-constrained wireless sensor networks. CDCM jointly exploits packet arrival rate, successful packet delivery rate and current buffer status of a node to measure the congestion level. Our objective is to develop adaptive traffic rate update policies that can increase the reliability and the network lifetime. Our simulation results show that the proposed CDCM scheme provides with good performance.
