Resource management in network dynamics: An optimal approach to the admission control problem

Abstract

This paper presents an innovative procedure to solve the Connection Admission Control Problem for a telecommunication network. Here, this important problem in the context of Communication Theory and Network Dynamics is dealt with by imbedding it in the framework of System and Control Theory. Highlights of the procedure are technology independence, coordinated and coherent decoupling, optimality and feedback properties, stochastic dynamic control. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Risk Adverse Virtual Power Plant Control in Unsecure Power Systems

“…Further promising future work is expected in the perspective of coping with the problems dealt with in this paper by adopting more advanced feedback control and machine learning methodologies also able to exploit, in real-time, the information embedded in historical data collected in the SCADA system, as SAIFI and SAIDI [25] indicators history, and/or the real-time feedbacks provided by the network users or their smart meters; this way it could be possible to perform dynamic, personalized, context-aware control actions, tightly tailored to each specific operational situation; in this respect, mutatis mutandis, approaches similar to the ones which are being adopted in the fields of Energy Control [26], [27], Traffic Control [28], [29], Resource Management [30], [31], personalized Quality of Experience Control [32], [33], and Transportation Systems [34], can be used.…”

Quality of service in networks supporting cultural multimedia applications

“…Admission control is a function that controls continuous media traffic (e.g. video) and ensures that the network resources are enough to accommodate new traffic such as a new video connection (Bruni et al , 2010). It determines whether a new traffic flow can be admitted to the network without violating the QoS enjoyed by previously established traffic flows.…”

Optimal Control of an Energy Storage System and Plug-in Electric Vehicles Fast Charging in a Grid-connected Service Area

“…The above mentioned requirements work in opposition each other, giving raise to the need of formalizing an optimal control problem. Optimal control has been successfully applied in many applications dealing with resource management problems, see, e.g., [5], [6]. Control problems related to PEVs and microgrids equipped with several forms of controllable loads, storage devices and local generation are the subject of a wide literature.…”
