Abstract :
Presents a procedure for constructing controllers that limit and route information flow in autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) networks. Particular attention is paid to the objectives of maximizing throughput and bandwidth efficiency while minimizing power consumption. Both a finite and infinite time horizon problem are formulated and solved for unique, piecewise continuous optimal controllers. In the infinite time case, a receding horizon system is adopted and a stability result for it is presented
