Abstract : The Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) are infrastructure-less and self-organised network made up of mobile nodes. Congestion control is a challenging task in MANET because of its node mobility of node, huge data transfer traffic, and actively changing nature of the network. Heavy congestion may result in huge packet loss, more delays, and expenditure of network resources due to repeated transmissions. In this work, we propose an intra-network data rate adaptation scheme to avoid packet loss which analyses the length of the queues in forwarding nodes and number of source nodes to adapt data transfer rate for transfer of data packets. The proposed scheme allows MANET nodes to select the correct transmission rates based on the traffic demands and supports dynamic transmission rate adjustments between neighbouring nodes. This paper also examines dropping attacks by malicious nodes in the network layer and to protect against such attacks, a mechanism for detection is introduced using the MANET’s node supportive participation. Since the transmission overheads are only used in the exchange of transmission signals among the neighboring nodes, the proposed model may be used by MANETs even with a large number of nodes. Simulation results of this scalable model, shows noteworthy improvement in PDR and network delay and packet loss due to queue overflow and network congestion.
