A wireless sensor network (WSN) has its application in various fields such as temperature monitoring, pressure monitoring, health monitoring, defence system etc. In wireless sensor networks, congestion occurs because of the inadequate resources like low processing power of the sensor node. The performance of the WSN is degraded by the congestion as it leads to the wastage of energy, reduction in throughput and huge information loss. To avoid this condition, numerous congestion avoidance methods for lossless data packet transmission can be employed. The objective of this survey is to investigate some of the existing congestion avoidance and control methods to categorize them and to examine their advantages and disadvantages. Accordingly, various congestion avoidance mechanisms are reviewed and the major issues are addressed in this paper.
