Synchronisation over random communication networks

Beschreibung: Modern communication technologies facilitate a flexible exchange of information between autonomous systems through a digital communication network. The control objective of these multi-agent systems is to achieve a desired coordinated behaviour of the individual subsystems.


Figure 1: Multi-agent system


Figure 1 shows the structure of a multi-agent system. The physically uncoupled agents ∑i,(i = 1,…, N) are connected via a networked controller which consists of local controllers Ci,(i = 1,…,N) and a communication network L.


Figure 1: Random communication links


The occurrence of links in the communication network at each discrete point in time is determined by the outcome ω of a random experiment as shown in Figure 2. The focus of this project is to analyse the impact of an unreliable communication network on the coordinated behaviour of the agents.
