Abstract

In this paper, we propose a bandwidth allocation scheme for networked control systems that have their control loops closed over a geographically distributed network. We first formulate the bandwidth allocation as a convex optimization problem. We then present an allocation scheme that solves this optimization problem in a fully distributed manner. In addition to being fully distributed, the proposed scheme is asynchronous, scalable, dynamic and flexible. We further discuss mechanisms to enhance the performance of the allocation scheme. We present analytical and simulation results.
