Constrained Decentralized Flow Control of Communication Networks

چکیده
We present a decentralized nonlinear flow control scheme for a class of communication networks with physical constraints. Through a detailed analysis, we demonstrate that nonlinear system theory can be applied to cope with saturation nonlinearity and unknown disturbances in network flow control problems. We solve the constrained queue regulation problem against traffic interferences with control input and state saturation, under two explicitly identified conditions, namely a “PE” condition and a Lipschitz-like condition. Asymptotic regulation is achieved for both a single-node system and large-scale networks, for all feasible initial states. The trade-offs of various control parameter settings are revealed through our analysis. Computer simulations confirm the effectiveness of our nonlinear network flow control scheme.

Third-order Decentralized Safe Consensus Protocol for Inter-connected Heterogeneous Vehicular Platoons
In this paper, the stability analysis and control design of heterogeneous traffic flow is considered. It is assumed that the traffic flow consists of infinite number of cooperative non-identical vehicular platoons. Two different networks are investigated in stability analysis of heterogeneous traffic flow: 1) inter-platoon network which deals with the communication topology of lead vehicles and...

This paper investigates the robust decentralized nonlinear control of power flow in a power system using a new configuration of UPFC. This structure comprises two shunt converters and one series capacitor called as hybrid power flow controller (HPFC). A controller is designed via control Lyapunov function (CLF) and adaptive observer to surmount the problems of stability such as tracking desired...

The control of fluidized-bed operations processes is still one of the major areas of research due to the complexity of the process and the inherent nonlinearity and varying dynamics involved in its operation. There are varieties of problems in chemical engineering that can be formulated as NonLinear Programming (NLPs). The quality of the developed solution significantly affects the performa...
متن کاملThe linear saturated decentralized strategy for constrained flow control is asymptotically optimal
We present an algorithm for constrained network flow control in the presence of an unknown demand. Our algorithm is decentralized in the sense that it is implemented by a team of agents, each controlling just the flow on a single arc of the network based only on the buffer levels at the nodes at the extremes of the arc, while ignoring the actions of other agents and the network topology. We pro...
متن کاملPrinciple of Autonomous Decentralized Flow Control and Layered Structure of Network Control with Respect to Time Scales
Network control mechanisms in networks can be categorized by the time scales on which an individual control takes effect and they form a layered structure with respect to the time scales. In high-speed networks, the processing speed of each node is high but the propagation delay is the same as in slower networks, because it is constrained by the speed of light. So, the framework of network cont...
