Recently there have been research efforts to treat the power control problem from base station to individual cellular phone through a game theoretic view. In particular, a non linear model of the channel is used by Aziz and Caines (2017) and they formulate a mean field game problem to find Nash equilibrium strategies. In this paper, we wish to use CDMA technology to achieve distributed control in a particular way over a network. It turns out that interference due to the convergence of information signals to the base station creates a game situation, in which control laws both steer the system and affect the quality of observations, thus creating a dual control environment (for example, see Feldbaum (1960); Kim and Rock (2006)). We propose an approach to characterize potential Nash equilibrium decentralized policies within a restricted class, that of linear time varying output feedback policies involving a limited record of the most recent measurements, despite this complex dual control environment. 2. STATE SPACE MODEL FORMULATION AND PROBLEM STATEMENT The base station itself sends the control signal to a collection of individual systems, hereon referred to as agents. Downlink channels are considered noiseless, however the controlled individual systems are stochastic. Agents encode their (scalar) state xk,i by sending a power propor(m) tional to it, that is to say, pk,i = βxk,i , where β is a constant parameter. The base station in turn computes the required control based on received power which also is tainted by interference and measurement noise (as in (1)). Thus, by letting h 2 yk,i = zk,i − σth , c = αβ(1 − ), h = αβh , (2) N the physics of CDMA transmission viewed as a networked control system with N agents can be cast into a state space form with individual scalar dynamics described by xk+1,i = axk,i + buk,i + wk,i (3) and partial scalar state observations given by:   N  1 yk,i = cxk,i + h  xk,j  + vk,i (4) N j=1

(i.e. involving a constant gain feedback on the optimal local state estimate) has been considered; it has been shown that if individual agent dynamics are sufficiently stable, this class includes a particular feedback gain corresponding to an asymptotic in population size Nash equilibrium. Furthermore, it has been numerically observed that the class of separated policies appears to always contain stabilizing gain ranges irrespective of the degree of instability of individual dynamics, while predictably so, the corresponding optimal filters are linear functions of the current and past observations, however with coefficients, which remain time varying. The latter observation leads us to consider existence of potential Nash equilibria, however within the special class of growing dimension time varying linear output feedback control policies given by uk,i = −f1,k yk,i −f2,k yk−1,i −...−fk−1,k y2,i −fk,k y1,i , (6) where fj,k are time varying scalar gains. In this paper, we propose a methodology for the computation of such policies for a finite horizon problem (which obviously we could make as large as we wish). For analytical tractability and computability, we shall further narrow the considered class of candidate policies to that of linear output time varying feedback policies, with a limited look back at the most recent two measurements. Evidently, one can make the class wider by picking more measurements, and having a growing vector of time varying gains as measurements accumulate. Thus, in the rest of the paper, we consider the problem of synthesizing Nash equilibrium strategies within a class of time varying linear output feedback control laws parameterized as follows: uk,i = −f1,k yk,i − f2,k yk−1,i , (7) i.e. the dependence is restricted to the most recent two measurements. 3. COMPUTATION OF SYMMETRIC NASH EQUILIBRIUM The idea of the calculation is based on a “generic” agent i0 attempting to develop a consistency principle for identifying the likely Nash candidate policies within the restricted class of interest, through the following steps:

for k ≥ 0 and 1 ≤ i ≤ N , where xk,i , uk,i , yk,i ∈ R are the state, the control input and the measured output of the ith agent, respectively. The random variables wk,i ∼ 2 N (0, σw ) and vk,i ∼ N (0, σv2 ) represent independent Gaussian white noises at different times k and at different agents i. The Gaussian initial conditions x0,i ∼ N (¯ x0 , σ02 ) are mutually independent and are also independent of {wk,i , vk,i , 1 ≤ i ≤ N, k ≥ 0}. Moreover, a is a scalar parameter and b, c, h > 0 are positive scalar parameters. Furthermore, the individual cost function for each agent is given by T −1   2 2 2 Ji  E (xk,i + ruk,i ) + xT,i , (5) k=0

where r > 0 is a positive scalar parameter.

In Abedinpour-Fallah et al. (2016), and for the infinite horizon problem, the class of so-called separated policies 14898

• On a finite time horizon T , fix for every k the sequence of output feedback gains (f1,k , f2,k ) to be considered as a candidate. • Assume everyone except agent i0 uses that feedback strategy. • Consider N large enough that the actions of agent i0 have negligible impact on the policies of other agents (the standard starting point of mean field games analysis - see [Huang et al. (2007)] for example, i.e. decoupling of the mass from the individual). Indeed, while an agent’s input does not affect the quality of its estimates in the linear case, in reality the feedback gains used by i0 affect its state and through interference will affect the ability of other agents to estimate their own state. This in turn impacts the interference perceived by i0 . • Consider the optimal control problem to be solved by individual agent i0 . Note that when solving for its best response to other agents’ actions using a dynamic programming principle working backwards in time at some time k, based on the results at time (k + 1), it

is assumed in light of the previous discussion, and for estimation purposes that up to time k the agent has been using exactly the same feedback policy as the other agents. • Under such conditions, agent i0 calculates the optimal feedback gains at time k, and of course, a necessary condition for the posited feedback sequence to be Nash is that the agent in question recovers the feedback gains he assumed optimal in the first place, i.e. a fixed point result. In this process, unlike the standard LQG dynamic programming solution, the estimation error cost depends on the chosen feedback gains, and thus also the structure of the fixed point equations one needs to satisfy. Also, note that in positing the quadratic structure of the optimal cost to go, we do neglect any dependencies on measurements beyond the latest two (The most general analysis would instead need to deal with optimal cost to go quadratic dependencies on a growing dimension vector of measurements). We proceed to study the dynamical model of agent i0 . In particular, define: m− k

and let Vk,i0 be the optimal expected value of Ji0 starting from time k on, knowing the measurements Yik0 and using an optimal u∗k,i0 , i.e. the optimal cost to go starting from time k. Then using the dynamic programming principle we have: (19) Vk,i0 = min E{x2k,i0 + ru2k,i0 + Vk+1,i0 |Yik0 }. uk,i0

Now, for tractability, we make the assumption that the optimal cost-to-go is a quadratic function of the last two most recent measurements. Recall however that in general, the optimal cost to go will be a quadratic function of all current and past measurements. Therefore, by substituting    T  yk+1,i0 q11,k+1 q12,k+1 yk+1,i0 Vk+1,i0 = + q¯k+1 yk,i0 yk,i0 q12,k+1 q22,k+1 (20) in (19) we get:

where

Let x ˆk,i denote the minimum mean square error estimator of xk,i based only on local observations of the ith agent. Also let Yik indicate the column vector of all measurements up to time k at agent i. Next, consider agent i0 with its cost function given by: T −1   J i0  E (x2k,i0 + ru2k,i0 ) + x2T,i0 , (18)

and assume that all other agents (except agent i0 ) use (7). Thus, including (7) in (3) and combining (3), (4), (8), (9), the closed-loop dynamics model can be expressed as:

Furthermore, plugging in (23) the optimal controller and using estimate (29) we get, after some calculations, the following backward coupled equations: h ˜ 1,k )2 q11,k =q11,k+1 (−bf1,k (c + ) + ΦTk K N h ˜ 1,k ) + 2q12,k+1 (−bf1,k (c + ) + ΦTk K N ˜ (x) 2 + rf 2 , + q22,k+1 + K (34) 1,k 1,k q22,k =q11,k+1 (−bf2,k (c + ˜ (x) 2 + rf 2 , +K 2,k 2,k

3.3 Initialization Over a finite time horizon [0, T ], the solution starts with a forward sweep whereby one assumes an initial set of output feedback gains ([f1,1 , f1,2 , ..., f1,T ], [f2,1 , f2,2 , ..., f2,T ]), which gives an expression of state estimates as well as their error covariances in terms of the assumed gains and the measurements that will be gathered over time, through recursive equations (39)-(41) and (44)-(46). Then, by proceeding through a backward sweep, one can use these values to find q11,k , q22,k , q12,k , q¯k , for all k’s, through recursive equations (34)-(37) and hence a new set of candidate output feedback gains. The forward-backward sweep stops whenever one reaches a fixed point in the space of output feedback gains. In particular, after a first Kalman

-3 -4

The numerical results reported in this section are obtained considering the following parameter setting for a representative agent, i.e., the 1st agent: b = c = h = 1 and σw = σv = 1, with initial standard deviation σ0 = 1 and Ex0,i = x ¯0 = 0 for all agents i = 1, 2, . . . , N . In addition, we will only deal with the case a ≥ 0. We experiment first, close to the a stability region [0, 2.53] by KalmanRiccati couple, and initialize the gains using the steadystate isolated (naive) Kalman sequence (see Appendix for details) and the Riccati control gain f ∗ = abΣ/(r + b2 Σ) which is obtained based on the positive solution of the associated algebraic Riccati equation (50) b2 Σ2 + (r − a2 r − b2 )Σ − r = 0. In particular, we initialize the algorithm by letting (51) f1 = f ∗ K ∗ , f2 = f ∗ (a − bf ∗ )(1 − cK ∗ )K ∗ . Then using a continuation approach, we let a go to a+∆a, and intialize the algorithm with the latest sequence. It is observed that the proposed approach, which is the optimal solution with limited memory, improves the previous value of asup = 2.53, obtained in Abedinpour-Fallah et al. (2016), up to the new value of 2.72, where asup is the maximum value of a such that the naive optimal KalmanRiccati couple (K ∗ , f ∗ ) is inside of the stability region and can stabilize the population (see Subsection 4.4.2. in Abedinpour-Fallah et al. (2016)). Moreover, the behaviors of agent 1 using the Kalman-Riccati couple versus the

Behavior of agent 1 when a = 2.6, N = 100, using the proposed algorithm which is initialized by Kalman-Riccati couple K ∗ = 0.8735, f ∗ = 2.2711 with J¯(N ) /T = 45.6167. proposed algorithm are compared in Fig. 2 and Figs. 34 respectively, for a = 2 and a = 2.6, where J¯(N ) denotes the LQ average cost over all the population, that is, J¯(N ) = N 1 j=1 Jj . Furthermore, Fig. 5 depicts the behaviors of N agent 1 using the Kalman gain with af = a − bf = 0.9 versus the proposed algorithm for a = 2.6. In addition, we illustrate the sequence of output feedback gains that were obtained in every case. In particular, in Figure 2 with a = 2 for the Kalman-Riccati case we have: [f1,1 , f1,2 , ..., f1,50 ] = [1.309, 1.309, ..., 1.309], [f2,1 , f2,2 , ..., f2,50 ] = [0.0955, 0.0955, ..., 0.0955], while for the the proposed algorithm we have: [f1,1 , f1,2 , ..., f1,50 ] = [1.1797, 1.2532, 1.2445, ..., 1.2445, 1.2444, 1.2442, 1.2435, 1.2404, 1.2276, 1.1688, 0.6857], [f2,1 , f2,2 , ..., f2,50 ] = [0, 0.1338, 0.1196, ..., 0.1196, 0.1195, 0.1193, 0.1180, 0.1126, 0.0663]. Similarly, for Figure 3 with a = 2.6 we have: [f1,1 , f1,2 , ..., f1,50 ] = [1.9838, 1.9838, ..., 1.9838], [f2,1 , f2,2 , ..., f2,50 ] = [0.0825, 0.0825, ..., 0.0825],

It is noted that up to the fixed point numerical convergence criterion, the fixed points associated to Figure 4 and Figure 5 which are obtained using the proposed algorithm, appear to be essentially equivalent, although the two calculations were initialized differently. 5. CONCLUSION In this paper, motivated by the application of CDMA based communication and control system modeled as an interference induced game in a multi-agent networked control system, we considered the computation of a symmetric Nash equilibrium within a restricted class of output feedback policies. We have shown that for some instances, the range of Nash equilibria obtained from the Kalman-Riccati couple can be extended using the proposed methodology

THE STEADY-STATE ISOLATED KALMAN SEQUENCE Definition 1. The isolated (naive) Kalman filter is a Luenberger like observer equation under the assumed state ˆk,i and zero interestimate feedback structure uk,i = −f x ference in the local measurements, which evolves as xk,i + K ∗ (yk+1,i − c(a − bf )ˆ xk,i ), (A.1) x ˆk+1,i = (a − bf )ˆ ∗ with the steady-state scalar gain K = cP∞ /(c2 P∞ + σv2 ) , where P∞ is the unique positive solution of 2 2 2 2 + ((1 − a2 )σv2 − c2 σw )P∞ − σw σv = 0. (A.2) c 2 P∞ Proposition 1. In the stability region, the isolated Kalman filter equivalent equation in the steady-state is given by x ˆk,i = K1 yk,i + K2 yk−1,i + ... + Kk y1,i , (A.3) where Kj = (a − bf )j−1 (1 − cK ∗ )j−1 K ∗ . (A.4) Proof : By rearranging (A.1) we have: x ˆk+1,i = (a − bf )(1 − cK ∗ )ˆ xk,i + K ∗ yk+1,i . (A.5) Then substituting (A.3) and  x ˆk+1,i = K1 yk+1,i + K2 yk,i + ... + Kk+1 y1,i , (A.6) into (A.5) and applying the stationarity property by making the left-hand-side of the resulting equation equal to its right-hand-side, we get the fixed-point values (A.4).
