    In this paper, we first build up a Westwood+ TCP congestion control model with communication delay in mobile cloud computing networks. We then study the dynamics of this model by analyzing the distribution ranges of eigenvalues of its characteristic equation. Taking communication delay as the bifurcation parameter, we derive the linear stability criteria depending on communication delay. Furthermore, we study the direction of Hopf bifurcation as well as the stability of periodic solution for the Westwood+ TCP congestion control model with communication delay. We find that the Hopf bifurcation occurs when the communication delay passes a sequence of critical values. The stability and direction of the Hopf bifurcation are determined by the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Finally, numerical simulation is done to verify the theoretical results

    Hopf Bifurcation Control in a FAST TCP and RED Model via Multiple Control Schemes

    We focus on the Hopf bifurcation control problem of a FAST TCP model with RED gateway. The system gain parameter is chosen as the bifurcation parameter, and the stable region and stability condition of the congestion control model are given by use of the linear stability analysis. When the system gain passes through a critical value, the system loses the stability and Hopf bifurcation occurs. Considering the negative influence caused by Hopf bifurcation, we apply state feedback controller, hybrid controller, and time-delay feedback controller to postpone the onset of undesirable Hopf bifurcation. Numerical simulations show that the hybrid controller is the most sensitive method to delay the Hopf bifurcation with identical parameter conditions. However, nonlinear state feedback control and time-delay feedback control schemes have larger control parameter range in the Internet congestion control system with FAST TCP and RED gateway. Therefore, we can choose proper control method based on practical situation including unknown conditions or parameter requirements. This paper plays an important role in setting guiding system parameters for controlling the FAST TCP and RED model

    Hopf Bifurcation and Stability Analysis of a Congestion Control Model with Delay in Wireless Access Network

    Get PDF
    We drive a scalar delay differential system to model the congestion of a wireless access network setting. The Hopf bifurcation of this system is investigated using the control and bifurcation theory; it is proved that there exists a critical value of delay for the stability. When the delay value passes through the critical value, the system loses its stability and a Hopf bifurcation occurs. Furthermore, the direction and stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are derived by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Finally, some examples and numerical simulations are presented to show the feasibility of the theoretical results
