Communication Attack Analysis of Multi-Agent System over Wide-Area Network

This study focuses on attack analysis on communication link within a wide-area network. The multiple groups that make up this network are isolated from one another. An agent that is present in every group and can communicate with other leaders at discrete times over a strongly connected directed graph is called a leader. Analyzing the impact of communication link attacks on the wide-area network’s consensus mechanism is our goal here. By applying concepts from matrix theory and graph theory, we demonstrate how a single attack on a communication channel could disrupt the consensus control law. Simulations are used to demonstrate the findings of our study.
