Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of automation technology and modern control, and relates to the modeling of a TS fuzzy positive multi-agent system and the consistency problem of an intelligent communication network system based on a PID control protocol under a DOS attack. Background Art

[0002] The openness, interactivity, and distributed nature of the internet enable people to realize their demands for information sharing, openness, flexibility, and speed. The internet has created an ideal space for information sharing, communication, and services. The rapid development and widespread application of internet technology has provided a powerful impetus for human development. Daily communication online has become an integral part of people's lives and work. However, as the frequency and volume of data transmitted over networks increase, data communication security issues are becoming increasingly serious. Once a security incident occurs in a communication network, it not only hinders communication between thousands of people but also leads to unforeseen losses of social and economic value. Therefore, the security of communication networks is of paramount importance. Only by comprehensively ensuring their security and reliability can the value of communication networks be maximized, thereby promoting my country's economic and social development.

[0003] The security of communication networks has become a major issue in the field of automatic control. Intelligent communication network systems are a type of control technology that will significantly reduce network attacks, reduce the occurrence of security incidents, and enhance the anti-interference capabilities of communication networks. Communication network security refers to measures implemented through hardware, software, operating systems, and other protective measures to protect communication data from infringement. Communication network security primarily refers to the security of communication network data. Generally, network security issues occur when a communication network system is attacked by an external source (such as a DOS attack), resulting in the leakage, theft, modification, and deletion of communication data, or when the continuity of data communication is affected, resulting in transmission interruptions, data packet loss, and the like. Multi-agent consistency refers to the state of each agent in a multi-agent system being ultimately consistent through a suitable control law. The controller used in this invention, which has a proportional-integral-differential control law, is called a PID controller. A PID controller (proportional-integral-differential controller) adjusts the deviation of the entire control system by setting the proportional unit P, integral unit I, and differential unit D, so that the actual value of the controlled variable is consistent with the predetermined value required by the process. The P part of the PID controller can reduce the steady-state error of the system, thereby improving the control accuracy of the system. The I part can improve the steady-state performance of the system. The D part can improve the dynamic performance of the system. The PID controller has been used in the research of multi-agent systems. In the communication network system, the data packets transmitted by each communication subnet are regarded as agents to form a communication topology for information exchange. Figure 1 The smart communication network system shown takes five communication subnets as an example. The connection between the communication subnets represents that the two communication subnets transmit data packets and can communicate with each other. The absence of a connection represents that there is no communication information exchange between the two subnets.

[0004] In a communication network system, the number of data packets transmitted by a communication subnet is always non-negative. Communication network security control primarily involves adjusting the structure of the communication subnet to maintain a relatively stable transmission structure between itself and surrounding communication subnets, changing the packet transmission rate as needed, improving anti-interference capabilities, and ensuring normal communication. Most current communication network systems utilize wireless communication technologies, such as LTE and 5G, as well as local area networks (LANs) such as WiFi, to achieve communication. When encountering external interference or malicious attacks, the security of the communication network system is difficult to ensure. Therefore, it is particularly important to leverage intelligent network communication systems to ensure normal communication even under external DoS attacks. The present invention utilizes a positive system to construct a communication network system, utilizing a system with non-negative characteristics for modeling, resulting in a more accurate model. In an intelligent communication network system, the frequency of DoS attacks on different subnets during the same period varies, resulting in different structural changes in the subnets and different packet transmission speeds. This presents significant nonlinear characteristics when modeling. In principle, the nonlinear process of packet flow changes can be described using a nonlinear positive system. However, nonlinear systems are difficult to handle, and even if a control method for a nonlinear general network system is designed, it is difficult to implement. The present invention uses the TS fuzzy model to approximate the nonlinear system into a system with linear characteristics, which is more convenient to handle and the designed related control method is easier to implement. The intelligent communication network system is composed of multiple subnets and a large number of data packets. It is more appropriate to regard the data packets transmitted by the subnet as multi-agents to establish a positive multi-agent system model. The use of PID controllers can improve the steady-state performance and dynamic performance of the system to control the subnet structure and the speed of transmitting data packets. Finally, based on the transmission data packet flow information, a fuzzy intelligent control protocol is constructed to achieve the normal transmission of data packets by all subnets, maintain consistent operation, and improve the ability to resist DOS attacks.

[0005] Based on the above analysis, this paper uses a positive TS fuzzy multi-agent system to establish a mathematical model for the operation of communication network data packets and proposes a consistency method based on a distributed PID controller. This consistency control method can improve the steady-state and dynamic performance of intelligent communication systems, ensuring system consistency and smooth communication.

The fuzzy control protocol method for intelligent communication networks under DOS attacks according to claim 3 is characterized in that: The consistency verification process of the intelligent communication network system in step 8 is as follows: Step 8.1 Select the linear copositive Lyapunov function based on whether there is a DOS attack When k∈[k 2f-2 ,k 2f-1 )hour, When k∈[k 2f-1 ,k 2f ), in, Step 8.2 Construction The difference, When k∈[k 2f-2 ,k 2f-1 )hour, When k∈[k 2f-1 ,k 2f )hour, Step 8.3 combines steps 8.1 and 8.2 to obtain When k∈[k 2f-2 ,k 2f-1 ), in When k∈[k 2f-1 ,k 2f )hour, in Step 8.4 From the conditions in step 6, we can get: when k∈[k 2f-2 ,k 2f-1 ), Further we get: When k∈[k 2f-1 ,k 2f )hour, Further we get: Step 8.5 Based on the conclusions of Step 8.1 and Step 8.4, the conditions are met in both cases.
