Software-defined networking generally assumes ideal control channels between controller and network nodes. This may not be the case in challenged environments that are becoming more common due to dense reduced-coverage 5G deployments use cases requiring cost-effective wireless transport networks. In this paper, we evaluate impact on performance of unreliable controller-to-node communication cha...

Pre-congestion notification (PCN) protects inelastic traffic by using feedback on network link loads on and acting upon this accordingly. These actions comprise to admission control and termination of flows. Two PCN architectures have been defined by IETF: the centralized and decentralized PCN architecture. The decentralized PCN architecture has received much attention in the literature whereas...

Next-generation motion stages are envisaged to be lightweight meet stringent demands regarding accuracy and throughput. The stage design implies flexible dynamical behavior, which is foreseen severely excited due increasing acceleration forces. aim of this paper exploit additional actuators sensors explicitly control the dynamic behavior. A systematic weighting filter procedure introduced tailo...

A wireless sensor network typically comprises a number of inexpensive power constrained sensors which collect data from the sensing environment and transmit them towards the base station in a coordinated way. Employing techniques of clustering and election of cluster heads can increase the transmission efficiency and prolong the network lifetime. This paper proposes a bio-inspired de-centralize...

This paper considers power control for log-normal fading channels. A rate based power set point control model and associated performance measures are introduced. The value function of the stochastic optimal control is a viscosity solution to the associated HJB equation and is approximated by smooth functions. Finally, by introducing multi-objective indices, we give a game theoretic formulation ...

Enterprise groups are characterized by multiple levels of enterprises with large scales assets and complex business models. In the process administration management funds, there often some problems, such as unreasonable internal funds allocation, high financing costs, flawed control. Centralized fund is a tool for overall allocation intra-group coordinated group investment financing. It can opt...

Most current s c hemes for multicast routing assume that multicast routers participate both in forwarding mul-ticast packets and in control algorithms for routing, resource reservation, and group management. By separating data and control ow, and by c e n tralizing control in distinct control elements, we h a ve designed a simple and scalable approach t o I P m ulticast that we call Centralized...

We present a formal connection between supervisory control theory in the field of control engineering and reactive synthesis in the field of formal methods. We focus on the case of fully-observed discrete-event systems that are controlled by a single controller/supervisor in order to achieve a safety specification and a non-blocking specification. The connection is shown by a reduction of the c...
