Design of state predictive congestion controllers considering effective equilibrium points

The purpose of this article is to design state predictive congestion controllers by considering effective equilibrium points of nonlinear models of TCP/AQM networks and to illustrate the effectiveness of the designed congestion controllers via the ns-2(Network Simulator ver.2) simulator. First nonlinear models of TCP/AQM networks derived in the paper [3] are linearized at some equilibrium points and a method to configure the equilibrium points of the models of TCP/AQM networks is proposed by focusing on the effective probabilities of packet marks. Second congestion controllers are designed by using state predictive control [8]. Finally the designed controllers are implemented in the router of TCP/AQM networks and some simulation results are shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by using SIMULINK and the ns-2 simulator.
