An adaptive inverse controller for explicit rate congestion control with guaranteed stability and fairness.

Examines the explicit rate congestion control for data networks. Role of the available bit rate (ABR) service category of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks as an example explicit rate system; Introduction of a control strategy based on approximate inverse concepts after the estab- lishment of a plant model; Inclusion of a linear digital filter that uses a normalized least mean square adaptation in the control process.
