An H∞ problem is formulated to find decentralised controllers which can be implemented locally at the bottleneck nodes. A suboptimal solution to this problem is found and the implementation of the decentralised controllers is presented. The controllers are robust to time-varying uncertain multiple time-delays in different channels. They also satisfy tracking and weighted fairness requirements. Lower bounds on the actual stability margins are derived and their relation to the design parameters is analysed. A number of simulations are also included to illustrate the time-domain performance of the proposed controllers.", pages = "95-116(22)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tandf/tcon/2009/00000082/00000001/art00008" doi = "doi:10.1080/00207170801993561" }
