Objects constitute \u201cInformation Networks\u201d through smart, self-regulated information gathering that also recognizes and controls current information states in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Information observed from sensor networks in real-time is used to increase quality of life (QoL) in various industries and daily life. One of the key challenges of the WSNs is how to achieve lossless data transmission. Although nowadays sensor nodes have enhanced capacities, it is hard to assure lossless and reliable end-to-end data transmission in WSNs due to the unstable wireless links and low hard ware resources to satisfy high quality of service (QoS) requirements. We propose a node and path traffic prediction model to predict and minimize the congestion. This solution includes prediction of packet generation due to network congestion from both periodic and event data generation. Simulation using NS-2 and Matlab is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s140507857","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,30]],"date-time":"2014-04-30T13:16:54Z","timestamp":1398863814000},"page":"7857-7880","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Congestion Prediction Modeling for Quality of Service Improvement in Wireless Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6411-4467","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ga-Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Kyung Hee University, 1732 Deogyeong-daero, Seochon-dong, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do 446-701, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sung-Young","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Kyung Hee University, 1732 Deogyeong-daero, Seochon-dong, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do 446-701, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eui-Nam","family":"Huh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Kyung Hee University, 1732 Deogyeong-daero, Seochon-dong, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do 446-701, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Jones, H.
