Stochastic controller as an active queue management based on B-spline kernel observer via particle swarm optimization

摘要

Given the fact that the current Internet is getting more difficult in handling the traffic congestion control, the proposed method is compatible with the stochastic nature of network dynamics. Most conventional active queue management is based on the first stochastic moment. In stochastic theory, the first moment is not efficient for non-Gaussian systems that are the same as the network queue size. We propose a new stochastic active queue management technique, based on stochastic control and B-spline window observer, called intelligent probability density function AQM (IPDF-AQM). The IPDF-AQM is based on a PDF control and particle swarm optimization, which not only considers the average queue length at the current time slot, but also takes into consideration the PDF of queue lengths within a round-trip time. We provide a guideline for the selection of the probability of dropping as control input for TCP/AQM system to make the PDF of queue length converge at a certain PDF target based on B-spline approximation and improve the network performance. Simulation results show that the proposed stochastic AQM scheme does improve the end-to-end performance.
