H∞-performance analysis of robust controllers designed for AQM

Abstract

It has been shown that the TCP connections through the congested routers with the Active Queue Management (AQM) can be modeled as a nonlinear feedback system. In this paper, we design H∞ robust controllers for AQM based on the linearized TCP model with time delays. For the linear system model exhibiting LPV nature, we investigate the H∞-performance with respect to the uncertainty bound of RTT (round trip time). The robust controllers and the corresponding analysis of H∞-performance are validated by simulations in different scenarios.
