Robust Controller Design for AQM Router

Abstract

This paper designs a robust active queue management (AQM) controller for IP routers based on the robust mu-analysis. Specifically, we synthesize the controller by modeling the uncertainty of the TCP/AQM system in the form of an uncertainty weight, and by approximating the mu-optimal control problem with the H <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">infin </sub> S/T/U MSP (Mixed Sensitivity Problem). We also analyze the NP (Nominal Performance), the RS (Robust Stability) and the RP (Robust Performance) of the TCP/AQM system
