This paper addresses the issue of lag consensus of the leader-following multiagent systems with communication delays and switching topologies. Lag consensus means that the states of the followers lag that of the leader. Based on the graph theory and the common Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method, we design a protocol ensuring the lag consensus of multiagent systems with communication delays under...
The average consensus problem of multi-agent systems (MASs) with switching directed network and time-varying delays is discussed in this paper, where the switching topologies are kept weakly connected and balanced. Firstly, the n-dimensional MASs model is reduced to (n-l)-dimensional subspace. Then, some sufficient conditions for average consensus are achieved based on reciprocally convex approach...
In this paper consensus control of autonomous vehicle platoon is investigated for connected vehicle systems (CVSs) with time delays. Information interaction of the CVSs can be modeled as a network topology. The network topology is extended into the generic framework adapting to any topology, which is represented by a Laplacian matrix. Based on the generic framework, the distributed control protocols...
The multi-tracking problem of second-order multi-agent system with communication delay is investigated in this paper. An intermittent control protocol is proposed on the basis of only relative position measurement, where the information of agent is quantized before transmission using stochastic quantization scheme. On the basis of algebraic graph theory, stochastic quantization and stability theory,...
Increasing use of online backup services, as well as the popularity of user-generated content, has increased the demand for bandwidth. However, traffic generated by these applications can impact on the responsiveness of delay-sensitive applications if they receive a 'fair-share' of the available bandwidth. Less-than-Best-Effort TCP congestion control mechanisms aim to allow lower-priority applications...
A variety of wireless communication links today, such as HSPA+ access in high speed trains, balloon-based aerial wireless networks and satellite Internet connections have high loss rates. In such environments, Multipath TCP (MPTCP) offers a robust solution compared to regular TCP. However, MPTCP and existing schedulers suffer from performance degradation for both constant bit rate (CBR) and bulk traffic...
Due to its modularity and scalability, modular multilevel converter is a promising topology for medium voltage applications, such as energy storage or motor drives. Because of the large number of modules, the wiring can become complex if the conventional star topology communication network is used. To solve this issue, a communication link that uses a ring topology to connect the central controller...
This paper investigates the deployment of an SDN-based UAV network providing communication service. Such a network is extremely useful in emergency scenarios. In such a network, the mobility of UAVs is minimal. We consider the placement of the SDN controller and its implications in terms of communication overhead and end-to-end delay of the control packets exchanged between the UAVs and the controller...
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard does not allow to make dynamic adjustments to the inactive portion of the superframe, thus affecting the duty cycles of the coordinator and all the devices attached to it. Prior works in this direction are either based on superframe occupation ratio or buffer occupancy/queue length of the transmitting nodes. In this paper, we present the respective limitations of both these...
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is becoming more important in automotive and industrial sectors. There is no clear strategy how to use TSN to improve and migrate the established real-time protocols without excluding legacy devices. This paper presents a realistic concept to integrate TSN into automation networks. We choose Sercos as a deterministic Industrial-Ethernet protocol to be extended with...
Among the schemes proposed for failure recovery in software-defined networks, installing backup paths in advance is considered to be an effective approach to reduce the recovery latency. However, the pre-installation poses undue storage overheads on flow tables. In this paper, we propose a customized and cost-efficient backup scheme, which achieves fast recovery from any single-link failure. We introduce...
Continuous-review inventory control problem in goods distribution networks is addressed from a control-theoretic perspective. In contrast to the earlier works concentrating on the fundamental serial and parallel-path configurations, a multi-echelon mesh topology network of suppliers, distribution centers, and retailers is considered. The external, uncertain demand may be imposed on any node in the...
This paper proposes a newly distributed reduced order agreement protocols based on the observer to investigate the consensus problem of high-order multi-agent systems with various agents and non-uniform delay of various time and directed communication topology. First, on the basis of Riccati equation, Lyapunov method, as well as Algebraic-Graph theory, a novel algorithm with multistep, is provided...
In this paper, we present a new adaptive multiflow routing algorithm to select end-to-end paths in packetswitched networks. This algorithm provides provable optimality guarantees in the following game theoretic sense: The network configuration converges to a configuration arbitrarily close to a pure Nash equilibrium. In this context, a Nash equilibrium is a configuration in which no flow can improve...
For reenterable models of IP networks with dynamic routing according to RIP protocol, measuring subnets for QoS parameters evaluation have been essentially modified and extended. Online algorithms of statistical analysis have been specified by colored Petri nets. The mean and variance of the packet delivery time have been evaluated. As a result, the computation precision has grown and an essential...
This paper proposes a method to design the coupling strengths in a multi-agent system in order to achieve consensus in arbitrary directed networks in the presence of input time-varying delays. A model transformation is carried out to convert the consensus problem into a stability one. Then, based on an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, sufficient conditions for consensus in multi-agent systems...
An 8b 5-GS/s Successive Approximation Register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is implemented in 65-nm CMOS using 16-channel time-interleaving, achieving a SNR of 43.5 dB and Figure-of-Merit (FoM) of 245 fJ/conv-step. High speed operation is achieved by optimizing the critical path in the SAR ADC loop. A sampling network with a split-array with unit bridge capacitor topology is used to reduced...
In the paper, the dynamics of goods distribution systems managed according to the continuous-review base-stock inventory policy are investigated. As opposed to the previous studies, which limit the scope to the fundamental serial and treelike settings, a multi-echelon mesh topology of interconnected actors (suppliers, distribution center, retailers) is considered. The exogenous, uncertain demand may...
Aiming at providing united control of multi-domain optical networks orchestration, we design the Federated Platform based on Open Network Operating System (ONOS). Our implementation includes adding and extending modules in ONOS to provide the global view of multi-domain networks and support cross-domain end-to-end services by communicating with the individual domain controllers through RESTCONF protocol...
Ubiquitous in-network caching is one of the important aspects of the Information-Centric Networking (ICN), which has been a hot topic of ICN research. Many works have tried to propose better caching schemes to solve the drawbacks of the default en-route scheme, but most of them are insufficient to improve performance of entire network for just considering single layer optimization factor. Also considering...
