Decentralised Learning MACs for Collision-free Access in WLANs
By combining the features of CSMA and TDMA, fully decentralised WLAN MAC schemes have recently been proposed that converge to collision-free schedules. In this paper we describe a MAC with optimal long-run throughput that is almost decentralised. We then design two scheme that are practically realisable, decentralised approximations of this optimal scheme and operate with different amounts of s...
متن کاملFeedback Control of Evolving Swarms
We examine the effects of proportional-integral control on the fitness and genetics of an evolving swarm. Introducing controllers with a set point designed to distribute birds equally across the food in a given simulation increases the rate at which the birds accumulate energy, but also increases the rate at which they expire. We find that the amount of food the birds gather is not dependent on...
متن کاملDensity regulation in strictly metric-free swarms
There is now experimental evidence that nearest-neighbour interactions in flocks of birds are metric free, i.e. they have no characteristic interaction length scale. However, models that involve interactions between neighbours that are assigned topologically are naturally invariant under spatial expansion, supporting a continuous reduction in density towards zero, unless additional cohesive int...
متن کاملDecentralized Control of Swarms with Collision Avoidance Implications
The paper reviews some approaches to the decentralized control of a swarm of unmanned vehicles, and then proposes a new algorithm capable of managing collisions between vehicles and with obstacles. The swarm goal is to achieve a desired shape and position in space, formalized using an abstraction based approach. Formation statistics are defined in analogy with phisical bodies: center of mass po...
متن کاملInversion-free decentralised quantitative feedback design of large-scale systems
In this paper a new method for robust decentralised control of large-scale systems using quantitative feedback theory (QFT ) is suggested. For a given largescale system an equivalent descriptor system is defined. Using this representation, closed-loop diagonal dominance sufficient conditions over the uncertainty space are derived. It is shown by appropriately choosing output disturbance rejecti...
