    Comparison of PI controllers designed for the delay model of TCP/AQM networks
    (Elsevier, 2013) Ünal H. U.; Melchor-Aguilar, D.; Üstebay, D.; Niculescu, S. -I.; Özbay, Hitay
    One of the major problems of communication networks is congestion. In order to address this problem in TCP/IP networks, Active Queue Management (AQM) scheme is recommended. AQM aims to minimize the congestion by regulating the average queue size at the routers. To improve upon AQM, recently, several feedback control approaches were proposed. Among these approaches, PI controllers are gaining attention because of their simplicity and ease of implementation. In this paper, by utilizing the fluid-flow model of TCP networks, we study the PI controllers designed for TCP/AQM. We compare these controllers by first analyzing their robustness and fragility. Then, we implement these controllers in ns-2 platform and conduct simulation experiments to compare their performances in terms of queue length. Taken together, our results provide a guideline for choosing a PI controller for AQM given specific performance requirements.

    Control of uncertain sampled-data systems: An Adaptive posicast control approach
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Abidi K.; Yildiz, Y.; Annaswamy A.
    This technical note proposes a discrete-time adaptive controller for the control of sampled-data systems. The design is inspired from the Adaptive Posicast Controller (APC) which was designed for time-delay systems in continuous time. Due to the performance degradation caused by digital approximation of continuous laws, together with the problem of assuming time-delays as integer multiples of sampling intervals, the benefits of APC could not be fully realized. In this technical note, these approximations/assumptions are eliminated. In addition, a disturbance observer is incorporated into the controller design which minimizes the effect of disturbances on the system. Extension to the case of uncertain input time-delay is also presented. The proposed approach is verified in simulation studies. © 1963-2012 IEEE.

    Controller design for plants with internal delayed feedback
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-05-01) Gündeş, A. N.; Özbay, Hitay
    A special class of retarded and neutral time delay systems is considered. These are plants with internal delayed feedback, and they may have finitely many or infinitely many unstable poles. Stabilizing controllers are obtained from a particular interpolation. A parametrization of all stabilizing integral-action controllers is obtained. Examples are given to illustrate this simple design procedure and its robustness properties for various uncertainties.

    Parameterization of suboptimal solutions of the Nehari problem for infinite-dimensional systems
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2007) Kashima, K.; Yamamoto, Y.; Özbay, Hitay
    The Nehari problem plays an important role in H∞ control theory. It is well known that H∞ control problem can be reduced to solving this problem. This note gives a parameterization of all suboptimal solutions of the Nehari problem for a class of infinite-dimensional systems. Many earlier solutions of this problem are seen to be special cases of this new parameterization. It is also shown that for finite impulse response systems this parameterization takes a particularly simple form.

    Reliable decentralised control of delayed MIMO plants
    (Taylor & Francis, 2010-03) Gündeş, A. N.; Özbay, Hitay
    Reliable decentralised proportional-integral-derivative controller synthesis methods are presented for closed-loop stabilisation of linear time-invariant plants with two multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) channels subject to time delays. The finite-dimensional part of plants in the classes considered here are either stable or they have at most two poles in the unstable region. Closed-loop stability is maintained with only one of the two controllers when the other controller is turned off and taken out of service.
