Decentralized control in packet switched satellite communication
Pravin P. Varaiya, Jean C. Walrand · IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control · 1979
The model introduced by Schoute [1] is analyzed using a minimum principle for decentralized stochastic control [2]. For certain values of the input message ratespand numberNof transmitting stations, simple open-loop strategies are shown to be person-by-person optimal. The true optimal control is shown to be open loop forN = 2.
