The Time Synchronization Analytical Study of the Dynamical Multi-Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

with the parallelism of task implementation, spatial distribution, well system fault tolerant capability and scalability, the multi-agent are widely used in many fields. The multi-agent synchronization control technology has been becoming a hot research at home and abroad. This paper set up unified time and frequency models of both homogenous and heterogeneous-agent, to explore the expression of multivariate time consistency problem. In addition, exploring the received signal strength (RSS) based time synchronization algorithm can enlarge the action range of multi-agent with keeping topologically connection, it also can ensure time synchronization and distance measurement when multi-agent lose satellite positioning function.
