Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a congestion control method and a related device. The method may include: learning, by an application server from a communications device, that a terminal device has handed over from a source cell to a target cell; detecting, by the application server, a round-trip time RTT and a bandwidth BW; and determining, based on detection values of the RTT and the BW, whether network congestion occurs on the link from the application server to the terminal device. By using this application, in some communication scenarios, a probability that a transmit end enters a network congestion control phase in advance due to erroneous determining may be reduced, and utilization of network bandwidth is improved.
