Congestion control access gateway and congestion control method for the same
First Claim
1. A congestion control method for a congestion control access gateway that interfaces between a broadband convergence network and a ubiquitous sensor network including sensors and terminals, the method comprising:
- receiving data from the ubiquitous sensor network;
when receiving the data, determining whether or not a congestion situation has occurred;
when a congestion situation has occurred, detecting the congestion situation based on data received in the congestion situation;
broadcasting a congestion notification message and a congestion control message in response to the detection of the congestion situation;
generating a congestion situation detection profile as a result of the congestion situation detection;
performing priority queuing of the received data based on the congestion situation detection profile and predetermined service classes; and
determining a destination of the data, which has been subjected to the priority queuing, using the congestion situation detection profile, and routing the data to a corresponding service.

Abstract
A congestion control access gateway and a congestion control method for the same are provided. The congestion control access gateway interfaces between a broadband convergence network and a ubiquitous sensor network including sensors and terminals. The congestion control access gateway receives data from the ubiquitous sensor network. When a congestion situation has occurred, the congestion control access gateway detects the congestion situation based on data received in the congestion situation and broadcasts congestion notification and control messages in response to the congestion situation detection. The congestion control access gateway generates a congestion situation detection profile as a result of the congestion situation detection and performs priority queuing of the received data based on the congestion situation detection profile and service classes. The congestion control access gateway determines destination of the queued data using the congestion situation detection profile and routes the data to a corresponding service.

6. A method for a terminal to control a congestion situation occurring in a ubiquitous system including a plurality of congestion control access gateways that interface between a broadband convergence network and a ubiquitous sensor network including sensors and terminals, the method comprising:
-
receiving a congestion notification message and a congestion control message from a specific congestion control access gateway that has generated the congestion notification and control messages in response to detection of a congestion situation;
storing data produced in the congestion situation upon receiving the congestion notification message;
performing random back-off of each service class upon receiving the congestion control message; and
transmitting part of the stored data based on a rate at which the data is stored. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. A congestion control access gateway that interfaces between a broadband convergence network and a ubiquitous sensor network including sensors and terminals, the gateway comprising:
-
a first interface that interfaces with the ubiquitous sensor network and receives data therefrom;
a congestion detector that monitors the first interface to determine whether or not a congestion situation has occurred and, when a congestion situation has occurred, detects the congestion situation;
a situation detection processor that generates a congestion situation detection profile as a result of the detection of the congestion situation based on the received data;
a congestion controller that broadcasts a congestion notification message and a congestion control message in response to the detection of the congestion situation and transmits the congestion situation detection profile to a neighboring congestion control access gateway;
a priority queuing processor that performs priority queuing of the received data using the congestion situation detection profile and predetermined service classes;
a routing processor that determines a destination of the data, which has been subjected to the priority queuing, using the congestion situation detection profile, and routes the data to a corresponding service; and
a second interface that interfaces with the broadband convergence network and transmits the routed data thereto. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
