The transmission opportunities between nodes in Delay Tolerant Network (DTNs) are uncertain, and routing algorithms in DTNs often need nodes serving as relays for others to carry and forward messages. Due to selfishness, nodes may ask the source to pay a certain reward, and the reward may be varying with time. Moreover, the reward that the source obtains from the destination may also be varying with time. For example, the sooner the destination gets the message, the more rewards the source may obtain. The goal of this paper is to explore efficient ways for the source to maximize its total reward in such complex applications when it uses the probabilistic two-hop routing policy. We first propose a theoretical framework, which can be used to evaluate the total reward that the source can obtain. Then based on the model, we prove that the optimal forwarding policy confirms to the threshold form by the Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. Simulations based on both synthetic and real motion traces show the accuracy of our theoretical framework. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the performance of the optimal forwarding policy with threshold form is better through extensive numerical results, which conforms to the result obtained by the Maximum Principle.

In this paper, the problem of delay-dependent stability analysis for cellular neural networks systems with time-varying delays was considered. By using a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii function, delay-dependant stability conditions of the delayed cellular neural networks systems are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Examples are provided to demonstrate the reduced conservatism of the proposed stability results.

In systematic tuning of digital STC parameters, systems with time-varying parameters and systems with time-varying delays are studied individually because of many preconditions and difficulties. In order to eliminate all these difficulties effectively, the expert control technique is required to enhance STC control functions. In this paper, an expert controller, a STC utilizing expert control technique, for process control is designed. The expert controller is composed of an unstability indicator for detecting plant unstability, an expert back-up controller and an expert STC which are switched each other by the unstability indication, and expert system with knowledge base and inference engine. This expert controller is able to perform control functions successfuly for the following` 1) a system which has unknown and time-varying delay time, 2) a time-varying system which has unknown parameters, and 3) a system with minimun and non-minimum phase. The robust control function is demonstrated by computer simulations.

For the last two decades, waveform control techniques have been successively developed and applied for the inverter welding machines resulting in the substantial reduction of spatter generated in CO₂ welding. One of the constituents commonly involved in those techniques is to delay the instant of current increase to some extent after the initiation of short-circuiting. Although this technique has been known to be quite effective in reducing the spatter generation through the suppression of is instantaneous short circuiting, the delay time necessary for minimum spatter has not been clearly understood. In this study, the control system for varying the delay time was constructed so that the spatter generation rates could be measured over a wide range of delay time, 0.29-2.0 msec. As a result of this study, it was demonstrated that spatter generation rate(SGR) sharply decreased at delay time of 0.6 msec and longer accompanied with the change in characteristics of short circuit mode from the instantaneous short-circuiting(ISC) dominant to normal short-circuiting(NSC) dominant. Another feature that have been found in current waveform of over 0.6msec was the creation of current pulse right after the arc reignition stage. Because of this current pulses weld pool oscillated in wave-like fashion and it looks like to play an important role in developing short circuiting between electrode and weld pool.

This paper presents a force-reflecting teleoperation scheme with time delay. In reciprocal systems, to improve the stability and performance of the tleleoperation system, the network provides a wide bandwidth, no congestion. However, as use of Internet increases, congestion situation of network increased and transmission time and packet loss increased accordingly. This can make system unstable at remote control. In this paper, we present a passive control scheme for a force reflecting bilateral teleoperation system via the Internet and we investigated how a varying time delay affects the stability of a teleoperation system. A new approach based on a passive control scheme was designed for the system. The simulation results and the tracking performance of the implemented system are presented in this paper.

In this paper, we consider the $H_{\infty}$ control of time-delayed linear systems with saturating actuators. The considered time-delay is a time-varying one having bounds on magnitude and time-derivative, and the control permits the predetermined degree of saturation. Based on two modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii(L-K) functionals, we derive a $H_{\infty}$ control in the form of linear matrix inequalities(LMI) having three non-convex design parameters. The result is dependent on the characteristics of time-delay, predetermined degree of saturation level, and bound of disturbance. Finally, we give a comparative example to show the effectiveness and usefulness of our result.

In large-scale systems, we frequently encounter the time-delay and the uncertainty, and these should be considered in the design of controller because these are the source of the degradation of the system performance and instability of system. In this paper, we consider the robust stability of the linear large scale systems with the uncertainties and the time-delays. The considered uncertainties are both structured uncertainty and the unstructured uncertainty. Also, the considered time-delays are time-varying having finite time derivative limits. Based on the Lyapunov theorem and the linear matrix inequality(LMI) technique, we present two sufficient conditions that guarantee the robust stability of the system. The conditions are expressed as the LMI forms which can be easily checked their feasibility by using the well-known LMI control toolbox. Finally, we show by two examples that our results are less conservative than the previous results.

In this paper, we newly propose a predictor model which is a method to overcome the time-varying delay in a system and we verify that the predictor model is well suited for the time-delayed system and improves the stability a lot through the experiments. The proposed predict compensator compensates uncertain time delays and minimizes variance of system performance. Therefore it is suitable for the control of uncertain systems and nonlinear systems that are difficult to be modeled. The simulation conditions are set for the cases of various input time delays and simulations are applied for the 2-axis robot arms which are drawing a circle on the plane. Conclusively, the proposed predict compensator represents stable properties regardless of the time delay. As a future research, we suggest to develope a robust control algorithm to compensate the random time delay which occurs in the tole-operated systems.

TCP는 인터넷에서 이미 많은 사용자들이 사용하고 있고 그 성능도 입증되어 왔지만, 망 구조의 급격한 변화에 따라서 TCP의 성능을 이에 맞게 개선하려는 노력들도 많이 제안되고 있다. 특히, 망이 고속화되고 위성링크 등에서 지연이 증가하면서 Bandwidth-Delay Product도 상당히 커지게 되었다. 이에 대응시키기 위한 방법으로 TCP 옵션에 Window Scale Option과 TimeStamp option, 및 PAWS(Protection Against Wrap Sequence Numbers) 등을 추가하는 방법이 제안되었다. Bandwidth-Delay Product가 큰 망에서는 TCP의 윈도우 크기도 증가하게 됨으로, 현재 사용중인 TCP의 곱 감소 선형적인 증가 방식으로는 망 내의 버퍼 언더플로우 및 망의 불안정을 야기하여, 결국은 TCP처리율의 감소를 초래하게 된다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 위와 같이 윈도우 크기가 큰 망에서의 TCP 흔잡제어 알고리즘을 개선하기 위한 방법으로 TCP의 TimeStamp 옵션을 이용하여 윈도우 크기를 조절하는 혼잡제어 방안을 제시하였다.

In this paper, we consider the problem of robust stability of discretd time-delay systems subjected to perturbations. Two classes of perturbations are treated. The first one is the nonlinear norm-bounded perturbation, and the second is the structured time-varying parametric perturbation. Based on the discrete-time Lyapunov stability theory, several new sufficient conditions for robust stability of the system are presented. From these conditions, we can estimate the maximum allowable bounds of the perturbations which guarantee the stability. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results.
