A fuzzy approach for the network congestion problem
In the recent years, the unpredictable growth of the Internet has moreover pointed out the congestion problem, one of the problems that historicallyha ve affected the network. This paper deals with the design and the evaluation of a congestion control algorithm which adopts
a FuzzyCon troller. The analogyb etween Proportional Integral (PI) regulators and Fuzzycon trollers is discussed and a method to determine the scaling factors of the Fuzzycon troller is presented. It is shown that
the Fuzzycon troller outperforms the PI under traffic conditions which are different from those related to the operating point considered in the design
Adaptive Active Queue Management based on Queue Ratio of Set-point Weighting
Presently, active queue management (AQM) is one of the important considerations in communication networks. The challenge is to make it simple and robust in bursty traffic and uncertain network conditions. This paper proposes a new AQM scheme, an adaptive ratio proportional integral (ARPI), for adaptively controlling network congestion in dynamic network traffic conditions. First, AQM was designed by adding a set-point weighting structure to a proportional integral (PI) controller to reduce the burstiness of network traffic. Second, an adaptive set-point weighting based on the ratio of instantaneous queue length to the set-point queue and the buffer size was proposed to improve the robustness of a non-linear network. The proposed design integrates the aforementioned expectations into one function and needs only one parameter change to adapt to fluctuating network condition. Hence, this scheme provides lightweight computation and simple software and hardware implementation. This approach was analyzed and compared with the PI AQM scheme. Evaluation results demonstrated that our proposed AQM can regulate queue length with a fast response, good stability under any traffic conditions, and small queuing delay
Design of Congestion Controller for TCP Networks Based on LMI Formulation
In this paper, a state feedback H221E; controller has been proposed in order to design an active queue management (AQM) system based on congestion control algorithm for networks supporting TCP protocols. In this approach, the available link bandwidth is modeled as a time-variant disturbance. The objective of this paper is to design controller which capable of achieving the queue size and guarantee asymptotic stability in the present of disturbance. An important feature of the proposed approach is that the performance of system, including the disturbance rejection and stability of closed-loop system, are guaranteed for all round-trip times that are less than a known value. The controller design is formulated in the form of some linear matrix inequalities, which can efficiently solved numerically. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed methods in comparison with other conventional methods
PSO algorithm-based robust design of PID controller for variable time-delay systems: AQM application
This paper formulates a robust control for variable time-delay system models. An automatic tuning method for PID-type controller is proposed. The adopted method integrates robust control design using Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) with Particle Swan Optimization heuristic algorithms (PSO) to systematize the loop-shaping stage. The objective of the design method is to reach a good compromise among robust stability, robust tracking and disturbance rejection with minimal control effort.
The resulting algorithm has attractive features, such as easy implementation, stable convergence characteristic and good computational efficiency. In particular, the results of the control design for active queue management (AQM) systems are presented.

A variable structure control approach to active queue management for TCP with ECN
Cataloged from PDF version of article.It has been shown that the transmission control protocol
(TCP) connections through the congested routers can be modeled
as a feedback dynamic system. In this paper, we design a variable
structure (VS) based control scheme in active queue management
(AQM) supporting explicit congestion notification (ECN). By
analyzing the robustness and performance of the control scheme
for the nonlinear TCP/AQM model, we show that the proposed
design has good performance and robustness with respect to the
uncertainties of the round-trip time (RTT) and the number of active
TCP sessions, which are central to the notion of AQM. Implementation
issues are discussed and ns simulations are provided
to validate the design and compare its performance to other peer
schemes’ in different scenarios. The results show that the proposed
design significantly outperforms the peer AQM schemes in terms
of packet loss ratio, throughput and buffer fluctuation
congestion control of data network by using anti-windup approach
Producción CientíficaAn Active Queue Management (AQM) scheme is design to control congestion in data networks, which includes anti-windup to deal with control signal saturation. More precisely, a methodology is proposed to design advanced AQM systems capable of regulating queue size even in the presence of significant disturbances. Hence, we first provide sufficient conditions for stabilization for the equivalent class of systems, which are derived in terms of LMI: this makes possible to derive optimization solutions that ensure performance and stability for a large domain of initial conditions. This approach is validated with a numerical example that illustrates the methodology, and the improvements with respect to previous
congestion control solutions
Fuzzy Fractional-Order PID Congestion Control Based on African Buffalo Optimization in Computer Networks
Congestion is the primary factor that slows down data transfer in communication networks. Transmission Control Protocol and Active Queue Management (TCP/AQM) collaborated to resolve this issue. The fuzzy-Fractional-Order-PID (FFOPID) controller is developed in this paper to control the linearized TCP/AQM model. The strategy is founded on a combination of fractional-order PID and fuzzy logic controllers. The primary objective of the proposed controller is to maintain the queue length of the router within the appropriate queue threshold for a congestion model. The control parameters are tuned using African Buffalo optimisation (ABO). The suggested controller is compared to other controllers (PID, Fuzzy-PID, and Fractional-order PID) to demonstrate the controller's efficiency, and all of these controllers are optimised using African Buffalo Optimisation (ABO). In MATLAB (R2017b), the simulation of the linearized model is introduced. Comparing the results of the Fuzzy-Fractional-Order-PID controller with those of other controllers in the same network scenarios reveals that the Fuzzy-FOPID is robust for a wide variety of TCP flows
