报告简介：
Satellite systems are essential for communication in modern-military operations. They require high bandwidth to support the demands for voice and data communications. To support reliable high-bandwidth IP-based satellite communications, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has to adapt to the changing environments. This is of critically importance in IP based satellite networks because of the long propagation delays, highly possible link errors and asymmetric bandwidth involved in the satellite networks.
In this talk, we present a new design for TCP network congestion control based on a nonlinear control and optimization framework. The proposed TCP/AQM control framework consists of two levels: the high-level generates the desired queue size for routers in the network by solving a network utility maximization problem using a distributed optimization scheme; the low-level provides a local nonlinear feedback control for the probability of packet mark/drop based on a typical fluid-flow model for TCP dynamical behaviors. The nonlinear control design is done using a backstepping method and its stability is proved by the Lyapunov direct method. Simulation results are included to show the effectiveness of the proposed new design.
