A compensated PID active queue management controller using an improved queue dynamic model

Abstract

SUMMARYBeside the major objective of providing congestion control, achieving predictable queuing delay, maximizing link utilization, and robustness are the main objectives of an active queue management (AQM) controller. This paper proposes an improved queue dynamic model while incorporating the packet drop probability as well. By applying the improved model, a new compensated PID AQM controller is developed for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networks. The non‐minimum phase characteristic caused by Padé approximation of the network delay restricts the direct application of control methods because of the unstable internal dynamics. In this paper, a parameter‐varying dynamic compensator, which operates on tracking error and internal dynamics, is proposed to not only capture the unstable internal dynamics but also reduce the effect of uncertainties by unresponsive flows. The proposed dynamic compensator is then used to design a PID AQM controller whose gains are obtained directly from the state‐space representation of the system with no further gain tuning requirements. The packet‐level simulations using network simulator (ns2) show the outperformance of the developed controller for both queuing delay stability and resource utilization. The improved underlying model leads also to the faster response of the controller. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Balancing Tradeoffs in Network Queue Management Problem via Forward–Backward Sweeping with Finite Checkpoints

“…In order to handle such an AQM scheme, common methods are based on the linearization of the TCP core model with control theory from Hollot et al [3] and consist of random early detection (RED) [13], and proportional integral derivative (PID) [14] and contribute a large portion to the queue management field [15]. The primary objectives were to propose more specific design guidelines to improve stability and responsiveness; moreover, the behaviour of RED under a change in network circumstances, namely link bandwidth capacity, is more understandable.…”

“…PI/PID/PD approaches have been widely applied to design AQM algorithms. [11][12][13] With the multiplied increase of business requirement, the network becomes more complex. The time delay and parameters uncertainty are more likely to cause instability.…”
