LGCC: Food Chain Multi-Hop Congestion Control

Abstract

Technological advancements have provided wireless links with very high capacity for 5G mobile networks and WiFi 6, which will be widely deployed by 2025; however, the capacity heavily fluctuates, violating the assumption at the transport layer that the capacity is (almost) fixed. This issue has so far been targeted by mostly ”hack-and-patches", which are still far from an efficient design. In this paper, we present a general and efficient, yet deployable solution to the aforementioned problem through a novel design empowered with a rich theory, allowing a significantly-improved experience in using new technologies, especially mobile cellular services.
