Abstract: Based on the proportionally fair scheme that Kelly proposed to solve the optimization problems for utility function in networks, and in order to improve the congestion control performance for the queue in router, the linear and terminal sliding active queue management (AQM) algorithms are designed. Especially in the ter-minal sliding AQM algorithm, a special nonlinear terminal sliding surface is designed in order to force queue length to reach the desired value in finite time. The upper bound of the time is also obtained. Simulation re-sults demonstrate that the proposed congestion algorithm enables the system be better transient and stable performance. At the same time, the robustness is guaranteed.
