Method and apparatus for controlling congestion in communication system

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or a pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method for controlling TCP congestion in a communication system provided in the present disclosure comprises the steps of: determining the maximum transmission rate of a network, while increasing the size of a congestion window at a predetermined time interval; determining a threshold transmission rate which is determined by a preset ratio with regard to the determined maximum transmission rate; and adjusting the size of the congestion window such that the current transmission rate is not less than the threshold transmission rate and the delay time is no longer than the maximum allowable delay time.
