Congestion tracking control of multi-bottleneck TCP networks with input-saturation and dead-zone

Abstract

This paper discusses the congestion control challenges in a network employing multi-bottleneck Transmission Control Protocol/Active Queue Management (TCP/AQM). The study specifically focuses on networks characterized by input nonlinearity and unknown disturbances. We regard the network as a whole, and consider the influence between multiple nodes and unknown disturbance, a dynamic model of multi-bottleneck network is established. And the impact of dead zone and saturation on the system is taken into account for the first time in the model, the builded TCP/AQM model is more practicable. Based on the characteristics of fuzzy logic systems (FLS), combined with backstepping technology and Lyapunov function, an adaptive congestion control algorithm is designed to make full use of the link resources of each node and improve the network utilization. Ultimately, the proposed algorithm's efficacy and superiority are substantiated through simulation.
