We present here a fundamental understanding of the capacity of wireless ad hoc networks. Under the assumption that all interference is essentially regarded as noise, we try to answer the question: “What is the lower bound on network capacity under a certain power assignment and nodal distribution?” We give two quantitative lower bounds: one is measured in bps (bits per second), the other is measured...
The automatic control theory plays an important role in modern industries. With the rapid development of the Internet and a variety of wireless networks, its application field has been becoming wider and wider. However, in the design of networking protocols, instead of utilizing the classical control theory, most software engineers favor open-loop control. In reality, closed-loop control may well...
A novel multi-tracking problem is introduced in multi-agent networks. The states of multiple agents in each subnetwork asymptotically converge to the same desired trajectory in the presence of information exchanges among subnetworks. A protocol with aperiodic sampled-data is proposed to achieve the multi-tracking of second order discrete-time multi-agent networks. The stability of dynamic systems...
This paper considers the second-order consensus problem of discrete-time multi-agent systems over fixed and undirected network topologies. A distributed consensus protocol utilizing the current and one-step delayed position information is proposed. It is interesting to found that second-order consensus in such a discrete-time multi-agent system cannot be ensured without any one-step delayed position...
Interactive is a focus of the multi-agent system study. KQML language is the most widely agent interactive language. This article bases on the analysis of the KQML language structure, including communication protocol defined in the language, language content, message routers, exchange facility and so on, aims at the multi-agent communication problem in distributed control of multi-kiln wood drying...
Topology control is one of the most important energy-saving techniques used in wireless sensor networks. It has evolved into two dominant research directions: power control and sleep scheduling. Although many topology control algorithms and protocols are claimed to be highly energy-efficient, this is not necessarily the case in real systems due to various isolated considerations. In this paper, based...
A single sign-on (SSO) system allow single authentication for multiple services. It is a potential solution to the implications of security, credentials management, et al. Recently, several works have used the threshold-based secret sharing scheme to create a distributed SSO service. All these works setup the threshold parameters first in the system initiation. But in some real-world applications,...
