Embodiment
The present invention is described further below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
The present invention has utilized fuzzy controller and two kinds of devices of PD controller, at first introduces the control principle of two kinds of controllers below:
The principle of PD (proportion differential) controller
PD controling appliance volume description is as follows: establishing r is the professional explicit rate of its supported whole ABR (Available Bit Rate) that switch is calculated at its a certain delivery outlet (corresponding with an output link), it also is the controlled quentity controlled variable of controlled object as the output of PD controller; Q represents this delivery outlet corresponding buffer region queue length, as controlled variable.Q TBe this buffering area queue length desired value or congestion threshold, as desired value.T represents the computing cycle of r and feedback velocity parameter ER, the i.e. sampling time of controller.Therefore, the expression formula of the demonstration speed of PD controller output is:
R (n+1)=max{r (n)+K PE (n)+K D[e (n)-e (n-1)]/T is in the 0} formula: e (n)=Q T-q (n) is called departure, and r (n+1) is the supported explicit rate of switch that is calculated in [nT, (n+1) T] time interval; R (n) is the supported explicit rate of switch that is calculated in [(n-1) T, nT] time interval; K PAnd K DBe called proportionality constant and derivative constant.[e (n)-e (n-1)]/T represents the rate of change of e (n), with Δ e (n) expression.Here, r (n+1) just can be used as feedback velocity parameter ER, and for carrying out Discrete Time Analysis, the every T of PD controller that runs on the network intermediate node calculates a new feedback velocity parameter ER value second.
The principle of fuzzy (Fuzzy) controller
Fuzzy controller does not need to set up the mathematical models of controlled process.For fuzzy controller, input and output all are accurate numerical value, the principle of fuzzy system then is to adopt people's thinking, be that language rule carries out reasoning, therefore the input data must be become the language value, promptly carry out " obfuscation ",, promptly carry out " reverse gelatinization " through the accurate amount that the result of fuzzy reasoning gained must become a reality.The basic structure of fuzzy controller as shown in Figure 4, this be one typical two the input one export structure.Accurate input variable e (n) is at n sampling instant switch output buffer queue length threshold Q among Fig. 4 T(set-point) is poor with instantaneous queue length q's (n) (measured value), i.e. e (n)=Q T-q (n); Error rate Δ e (n) is [e (n)-e (n-1)]/T, and T is the sampling period, and e (n-1) is at n-1 sampling instant switch output buffer queue length threshold Q T(set-point) is poor with instantaneous queue length q's (n-1) (measured value); Δ er (n+1) is the output controlled quentity controlled variable of fuzzy controller, and it is the increment of the available feedback velocity parameter of switch ER in the next sampling period; E, EC and Δ ER are above-mentioned three respectively and accurately measure (e (n), Δ e (n) and Δ er (n+1)) pairing fuzzy language variable; K E, K DBe respectively the quantizing factor of input variable, K UIt is scale factor.Database among the figure is used for ambiguity in definition controller language control law and fuzzy data operation in addition.
Design an effective fuzzy controller and generally include several steps: definition can reflect the input variable of network congestion state and be used to control the method for the output variable of ABR service traffics, the domain of determining these variablees and their membership function curve, design control law storehouse, design fuzzy reasoning structure, the judgement of selection ambiguity solution.
1) definition of input and output variable
As shown in Figure 4, fuzzy controller has adopted the processing structure of typical two inputs, one output, be that fuzzy controller has used two input variables to calculate the increment of feedback velocity parameter ER, here, we select the switch output buffer as controlling object, and its instantaneous queue length is as controlled parameter.Therefore, we adopt input variable e (n) to be used for the current state of trace buffer formation; Its rate of change Δ e (n) is used to provide the prediction of following quene state.By the ER increment that provides with switch in next sampling period as the output Control Parameter, can be so that ABR (Available Bit Rate) service source end be easier to the unexpected variation of response to network load or buffering area queue length.
2) domain and membership function determines
By the actual conditions of controlled process (switch output buffer) as can be known, the excursion of queue length q (n) is [0, B], and wherein B is the size of this buffering area.Therefore, the measuring range of two input variables is respectively: e (n) ∈ [Q T-B, Q T], Δ e (n) ∈ [B/T ,+B/T]; According to the bandwidth C of link, the sphere of action that can determine to export control variables is Δ ER ∈ [C, C].By top, we can see, no matter are input variable or output variable, and they all are accurate amounts.Adopt fuzzy control technology just must at first convert them to the membership function of fuzzy set.Each input value can corresponding fuzzy set, and a scope continually varying value just can have unlimited a plurality of fuzzy set, and this is skimble-skamble when practical application.For the ease of realizing, usually the input variable scope is defined as discrete some levels artificially.Here, for the amount of calculation that reduces fuzzy controller and keep higher control resolution, three linguistic variables are all fuzzy be divided into five fuzzy subsets as NB, NS, ZE, PS, PB}, we select to quantize factor K E=K D=1.The membership function that defines top three amounts can adopt and hang bell, trapezoidal and triangle, hang in theory bell ideal, but calculation of complex; Facts have proved not have fairly obvious difference with triangle and its performance of trapezoidal function; Therefore in order to simplify calculating, we adopt the most frequently used triangle and the trapezoidal function that combines.Fig. 5--Fig. 7 has shown the pairing membership function curve of each linguistic variable fuzzy subset.Q among the figure E=M E* Q T, Q EC=M EC* Q T/ T, Q Δ=M Δ* C; Here select M E=M EC=0.08, M Δ=0.5, Q T=150cells, B=5000cells, T=1ms.
3) design of traffic control rule and fuzzy logic inference machine
According to the number of input and output variable, just can obtain the maximum number of desire rule:
N=n_out×(n_level) n_m
N_in is the number of input variable in the formula, is 2 herein, i.e. e (n) and Δ e (n); N_out is the number of output variable, is 1 herein, i.e. Δ er (n+1); N_level is the number that grade classification is blured in input and output; Therefore, the maximum number of this paper rule is 25.
Fuzzy reasoning is the core of whole fuzzy controller, and this reasoning process is based in the fuzzy logic that the relation of implication and inference rule carries out.According to fuzzy set and fuzzy relation theory, can be with different fuzzy reasoning methods for dissimilar fuzzy rules.In order to guarantee the stability of controller, reduce the overshoot and the oscillatory occurences of controlled parameter, we adopt the fuzzy rule of following form.As:
(1) " if queue length is little and queue length reduces soon, the supported speed of switch increases fast so.”
(2) " if queue length is moderate and queue length reduces slowly, the supported speed of switch is constant so.”
(3) " if queue length is very big and queue length does not change, the supported speed of switch reduces slow so.”
For formalization, can be expressed as:
(1)IF?E?is?PS?and?EC?is?PB?THEN?ΔER?is?PB
(2)IF?E?is?ZE?and?EC?is?PS?THEN?ΔER?is?ZE
(3)IF?E?is?NB?and?EC?is?ZE?THEN?ΔER?is?NS
Wherein " the x is a and y is b " of IF part is called former piece portion, and " the z is c " of THEN part is called consequent portion.According to buffering area characteristic and experimental result, fuzzy traffic control rule is designed to shown in the table 1.
Fuzzy controller adopts minimum-maximum rationalistic method (min-max) to carry out fuzzy reasoning.This inference method is to choose earlier the adaptive degree of the value (i.e. the degree of membership of " least adaptive ") of degree of membership minimum in each condition as this rule in the reasoning former piece, and to obtain the conclusion of this rule, this is called gets little min operation; Again each regular conclusion is comprehensively chosen the part of maximum adaptation degree, promptly got big max operation.

The selection of ambiguity solution decision method
Scale factor K is multiply by in the fuzzy output of inference machine UAfter send into the ambiguity solution module and handle, the present invention selects K U=0.08.Here, the control output that obtains through fuzzy reasoning is a fuzzy membership functions or fuzzy subset, and it has reflected the ambiguity of control language, and this is a kind of combination of different values.Yet to control a physical object in actual applications, can only when some, be carved with a definite controlled quentity controlled variable, this just must find out one from fuzzy output membership function to represent this fuzzy set be the accurate amount that fuzzy control effect possibility distributes, ambiguity solution judgement that Here it is.From mathematics, this is a mapping from the defined fuzzy control action space of output domain to accurate control action space.The most frequently used method is maximal criterion method, the maximum membership degree method of average and gravity model appoach at present.Wherein, gravity model appoach is a kind of widely used method.Find out in this way the membership function curve that cuts and abscissa surround the center of gravity of area, its essence is and find out the center of gravity that the control action possibility distributes.In output is that the output controlled quentity controlled variable of fuzzy controller can be tried to achieve with following formula under the situation of centrifugal pump set:
Δer(n+1)=[∑μ(z 1)×z 1]/∑μ(z 1)
μ (z wherein i) be each regular conclusion degree of membership, z 1Be the representative point of each rule conclusion, i.e. center of gravity abscissa.
The supported demonstration speed of switch is: r (n+1)=Sat β * CBandwidth constraints factor-beta=1.1 in { r (n)+Δ er (n+1) } formula, it is used to limit because the long controlled parameter overshoot that causes of link range is excessive, thereby can reduce the cell loss concealment of controller; Sat is a truncation funcation.Calculating the process that shows speed r (n+1) can finish in the The fuzzy PD flow controller, also can finish in the outside of The fuzzy PD flow controller.
The PD controller above the following basis and the theory of fuzzy controller describe the concrete control method of The fuzzy PD flow controller of the present invention in detail:
Described a kind of network system figure among Fig. 1, comprised source end subscriber, destination user and n switch in this network, the The fuzzy PD flow controller among the present invention is exactly a part of forming switch, and the concrete running of The fuzzy PD flow controller is as follows:
The queue length (as q) of the buffering area (as input block or output buffer) of the The fuzzy PD flow controller in the switch (see figure 2) in a time cycle (as T second) once sampling switch is made as q (n) in the queue length of n sampling period sampling.Set a buffering area queue length desired value or congestion threshold, as desired value (Q T).N time cycle, q (n) and Q TIt is the input variable of The fuzzy PD flow controller.Switch computes goes out Q T-q (n) is called departure e (n), i.e. e (n)=Q T-q (n), and preserve e (n).This switch computes [e (n)-e (n-1)]/T then, the rate of change that is called e (n) is with Δ e (n) expression, i.e. Δ e (n)=[e (n)-e (n-1)]/T, e (n-1) is the amount of calculating in the time cycle and preserving at n-1, is called the departure of n-1 in the time cycle.Sampling buffer queue length and the calculating of e (n) and Δ e (n) carried out in the sampling of The fuzzy PD flow controller and computing unit wherein, as shown in Figure 3, the mode selector switch that the described e (n) that calculates and Δ e (n) are input to the The fuzzy PD flow controller, the mode selector switch is carried out selection operation, its size according to e (n) selects to adopt PD controller or fuzzy controller, as e (n) during greater than certain prior preset threshold (can be provided with as the case may be), select fuzzy controller, e (n), Δ e (n) are input to fuzzy controller; Otherwise, select the PD controller, e (n), Δ e (n) are input to the PD controller.
If selection fuzzy controller, the fuzzier unit of fuzzy controller is carried out Fuzzy processing respectively with e (n) and Δ e (n), draw two input fuzzy quantity E and EC, carry out fuzzy reasoning according to the rule base of formulating then, draw an output fuzzy quantity Δ ER, then, draw an accurate output valve Δ er (n+1), show that at last the rate calculations device is according to formula: r (n+1)=Sat by the ambiguity solution module β * C{ r (n)+Δ er (n+1) } draws the output controlled quentity controlled variable r (n+1) that a n+1 will use in the time cycle, and this output controlled quentity controlled variable is used as feedback velocity parameter ER and is sent to the source end subscriber by switch.
If select the PD controller, the PD controller is according to formula:
R (n+1)=max{r (n)+K PE (n)+K D[e (n)-e (n-1)]/T, 0} calculates r (n+1).In having a plurality of switches and switch, have in the system of The fuzzy PD flow controller (with reference to figure 1), a minimum value computing module in the switch compares this r (n+1) and the r (n+1) that The fuzzy PD flow controller in other switch of receiving produces and sends, as the minimum computing Min that asks among Fig. 2, this computing can be to carry out in the computing module in switch, the minimum value that computing is obtained feeds back to source end subscriber (as the source end subscriber I among Fig. 2) as feedback velocity parameter ER, each source end subscriber is regulated separately data (as cell Cell according to the minimum r (n+1) of this feedback, grouping) emission rate, for the data transmission rate of how to regulate separately, all are ripe prior aries, just are not described in detail here.
Enumerate several examples of application and respective performances below, Fig. 8 is the network configuration that contains single bottleneck link, and wherein 5 ABR (Available Bit Rate) users and a synthetic VBR (variable bit-rate) user share a bottleneck link.
The link range between active end/destination system and switch sw1 or the sw2 be 10km, link rate is 149.79Mbits/s, trunk bottleneck link parameter as shown in Figure 8.S1 to S5 represents the source end system of ABR service among the figure, and D1 to D5 is its corresponding destination system.
For the ABR business, we use the source with greedy character, can make each user can make full use of its available bandwidth like this.Table 2 has been listed the used major parameter value of ABR end system among Fig. 8;
Table 2ABR service end system major parameter
The represented VBR service source of Svbr is an ON-OFF process that belongs to the Poisson random process among the figure.In the ON state time, it produces cell with the speed of 20Mbits/s; Its speed that produces cell is 0 under the OFF state.The duration of each ON or OFF state is 2.5ms, so the Mean Speed of VBR source generation cell is 10Mbits/s; The actual ON and the interval obeys index distribution of OFF state.Institute is active to begin to send cell in the moment 0.
In this system, we mainly investigate the transient state and the steady-state characteristic of network controlled parameter.We are with maximum instantaneous queue length and response time two main mapping indexs as the reflection network performance; With steady-state error (error between the stationary value of controlled parameter and set-point-switch output buffer queue length threshold) as main steady-state behaviour index.
We suppose VBR VC, and (be Svbr, Dvbr) inoperative, so available link bandwidth and active vc s number are all fixed in the network, used network model as shown in Figure 8.Figure 10 and Figure 11 have provided the dynamic characteristic of bottleneck switch (sw1) output buffer queue length and an ABR (Available Bit Rate) source end system (as S1) ACR (decay crosstalk ratio) respectively.We know that the stability of mechanism and the selection of mode switching threshold have nothing to do from Figure 10, and promptly controlled parameter (queue length q) always converges to its desired value Q TFigure 11 shows that the same selection with the mode switching threshold of convergence of the Control Parameter ACR of mechanism has nothing to do, and always to converge to 1/5 of bottleneck link total capacity 50Mbits/s be 10Mbits/s; This ACR sum that shows whole ABR source end systems equals the bottleneck link bandwidth capacity, so this mechanism has very high bandwidth availability ratio.From Figure 10 and 11, we can see that also when stable state, all there be not " burr " in the controlled parameter and the Control Parameter of The fuzzy PD flow controller.By last, we may safely draw the conclusion: Fuzzy PD Control mechanism is stable, and its steady-state error is 0 (making full use of buffer resource), can make full use of link bandwidth; In addition, the selection of mode switching threshold is to the not influence of steady-state behaviour of controller.Therefore, the The fuzzy PD flow controller has better steady-state characteristic.
From Figure 10 and 11 as can be known: the selection of mode switching threshold is very big to the influence of controller transient response.Table 3 has been listed the influence of the selection of mode switching threshold to the relevant performance parameter of controller transient response (controlled parameter).
Table 3 mode switching threshold is to the influence of controller transient response
Figure C20051012794800161
From table as can be known: along with the increase of mode switching threshold, will change the PD controller gradually into from fuzzy controller to the influence of controller transient response, the analysis when this designs the The fuzzy PD flow controller with us is consistent.When mode switching threshold during less than 45cells (30%), fuzzy control plays a major role; When the mode switching threshold greater than 75 (50%) time, PD control plays a major role.The mode switching threshold is when 45cells is between 75cells, and mechanism combines the speciality of two kinds of control actions, and has obtained transient response preferably: fast response time, low overshoot.
Hence one can see that, and when selecting suitable mode switching threshold, the The fuzzy PD flow controller can obtain low overshoot, thereby can improve the performance of network; Compare with the PD controller, the The fuzzy PD flow controller has the response time faster.
Describing below when the available link capacity changes, also is to have when disturbing the dynamic characteristic of bottleneck switch queue length and ABR source end ACR value in the network.Network model such as Fig. 8.Figure 12 shows that the ACR of an ABR source end system such as S1 and the dynamic characteristic of switch sw1 queue length.
By Figure 12 (b) as can be known the ACR value be near the vibration steady-state value of 8Mbps at (50-10)/5Mbps, so link bandwidth is fully utilized.Similar to ACR, the queue length shown in Figure 12 (a) is at desired value Q TNear vibration; Because queue length is vibrated near being controlled at desired value, so the switch buffers district also is fully utilized.By on can reach a conclusion, the The fuzzy PD flow controller also has interference free performance, it can be applied to equally ABR and VBR the coexistence network environment in and can utilize Internet resources fully.
Fig. 9 is multi-hop (hop) network simulation model, and all link rates are 150Mbits/s among the figure.Used parameter value of ABR end system and table 2 parameter value are basic identical, and unique difference is its PCR=200Mbits/s.SA1, SA2, SB1, SB2, SC1 to SC6 represent the source end system of ABR service among the figure, and DA1, DA2, DB1, DB2, DC1 to DC6 are its corresponding destination systems.Here robustness is meant that it is stable that controller remains when movable ABR VCs number changes.In order to investigate robustness, we adopt ABR source characteristic shown in Figure 13 in this experiment, and purpose is that movable ABR VCs number is changed.Figure 14 is a simulation result, and as we know from the figure, the The fuzzy PD flow controller is the variation of response activity ABRVCs number rapidly.From Figure 14 (a) as can be known: queue length is that segmentation is stable and always converge to object queue length Q in finite time TFrom Figure 14 (b) as can be known: ACR increases and reduces along with movable ABR VCs number, raises along with the minimizing of movable ABR VCs number.By on can reach a conclusion: the The fuzzy PD flow controller is a robust.
We utilize the dynamic characteristic of ACR to investigate fairness, still use network model as shown in Figure 9.Can see that from Figure 15 (a) the tight control to switch queue length makes the ACR of each source end system converge to the expectation fair share value of VC group separately, as shown in Figure 15 (b).Fairness between different VC in same group (as the VC of SA1 and SA2 correspondence) can reach equally, here because layout space is limit the ACR curve of the VC in every group of only having drawn.But as can be seen, the The fuzzy PD flow controller is fair equally.
In addition, we also can know from Figure 15, and on the same group link not, their distances are separately also made a world of difference, and the queue length of bottleneck switch all restrains.Can reach a conclusion simultaneously thus, the The fuzzy PD flow controller also is a robust for the influence of distance (or round-trip transmission time RTT).
By the foregoing description as can be known, The fuzzy PD flow controller of the present invention has better steady-state characteristic, has interference free performance, and the The fuzzy PD flow controller is fair and robust equally.Method of the present invention can be applied to the data flow control method in the computer network, also can be applied to core net, Access Network partial data flow control methods in the mobile communication system.
The above only is a preferred implementation of the present invention; should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the prerequisite that does not break away from the principle of the invention; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
