Wireless networks are currently experiencing more overload situations than their wireline counterparts because of explosive mobile traffic growth, unpredictable traffic behavior, service differentiated traffic shedding, etc. Even though extensive research work on network overload control in general is going on, the economic aspect of the overload problem has received very little attention.

In this paperwe study a second order, distributed control system for a finite number of point agents on the unit circle that achieves simultaneously velocity consensus and distance based formation shape control. Based on tools from Riemannian geometry, we propose a system of second order differential equations on the N-dimensional torus that achieves these two goals. We prove convergence of the...
