CPM: A congestion control method for interplanetary network

The vision of future space exploration includes missions to deep space that require communication among ground stations on ground and another planets such as mars, moons, satellites in different orbiters, asteroids, robotic spacecrafts, and specially for crewed vehicles for delivering information. These communications requires high bit rate for autonomous operations and also have several different limitations. These type of communications set as a network that is called Interplanetary Network (IPN). There are difference challenges in space communication that TCP and UDP are not able to address them such as Long propagation delay, asymmetric bandwidth, etc. In this work, a congestion method for CPM (Control Packet Mechanism) is presented. CPM deploys a pure rate transmission mechanism with avoid of congestion to increase throughput and performance.
