Can binary comms achieve consensus tracking with a time-varying target?
Consensus Tracking Control of Multi-agent Systems with A Time-varying Reference State under Binary-valued Communication
This paper explores how multiple agents can work together to follow a leader, even when they only receive very limited, binary (0 or 1) information about each other's positions. It offers algorithms for two scenarios: when the leader's position eventually settles down and when the leader's position stays within a certain range.
For LLM-based multi-agent systems, this research is relevant because it addresses the challenge of coordinating agents with limited communication bandwidth. The binary communication model could be analogous to agents receiving only simplified, high-level feedback or instructions. This work could be extended to consider more complex information exchange, such as the limited token exchanges typically seen in LLM interactions, and the algorithms offer a starting point for developing coordination strategies in such environments.
