BIBO stability and stabilization of networked control systems with short time‐varying delays

This paper presents a robust control approach to solve the stability and stabilization problems for networked control systems (NCSs) with short time‐varying delays. A new discrete‐time linear uncertain system model is proposed to describe the NCS, and the uncertainty of the network‐induced delay is transformed into the uncertainty of the system matrix. Based on the obtained uncertain system model, a sufficient BIBO stability condition for the closed‐loop NCS is derived by applying the small gain theorem. The obtained stability condition establishes a quantitative relation between the BIBO stability of the closed‐loop NCS and two delay parameters, namely, the delay upper bound and the delay variation range bound. Moreover, design procedures for the state feedback stabilizing controllers are also presented. An illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Modelling and control of networked control systems with both network-induced delay and packet-dropout

A new switched linear system model is proposed to describe the networked control system (NCS) with both network-induced delay and packet-dropout. A sufficient condition is derived for the exponential stability of the closed-loop NCS, and the obtained condition establishes the quantitative relation between the packet-dropout rate and the stability of the NCS. Design procedures for the state feedback stabilising controllers are also presented by using the augmenting technique. An illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Output feedback guaranteed cost control of networked linear systems with random packet losses

This article is concerned with the output feedback guaranteed cost control problem for a class of networked control systems (NCSs) with both packet losses and network-induced delays. The packet-loss processes in the forward channel and the backward channel are modelled as two Markov chains. The dynamic output feedback controllers are considered, and the closed-loop NCS is modelled as a discrete-time Markovian system with two modes and unit time delay. By using a properly constructed Lyapunov function and the state transformation technique, a sufficient condition is derived for the closed-loop NCS to be mean-square exponentially stable and ensure a decay rate that can be tuned according to the packet loss situations in the networks. Moreover, design procedures for the guaranteed cost controllers are also presented based on the obtained stability condition and guaranteed cost performance result. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

H∞ and positive-real control for linear neutraldelay systems

This note is concerned with the H_∞ and positive-real control problems for linear neutral delay systems. The purpose of H_∞ control is the design of a memoryless state feedback controller which stabilizes the neutral delay system and reduces the H_∞ norm of the closed-loop transfer function from the disturbance to the controlled output to a prescribed level, while the purpose of positive-real control is to design a memoryless state feedback controller such that the resulting closed-loop system is stable and the closed-loop transfer function is extended strictly positive real. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the desired controllers are given in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). When this LMI is feasible, the expected memoryless state feedback controllers can be easily constructed via convex optimization

Non-fragile positive real control for uncertain linear neutral delay systems

This paper is concerned with the problem of non-fragile positive real control for uncertain neutral delay systems with time-invariant norm-bounded parameter uncertainty. Time delays are assumed to appear in both the state and the controlled output equations. The state feedback gains are with norm-bounded controller uncertainties. For both the cases with additive and multiplicative controller uncertainties, we address the problem of designing memoryless state feedback controllers such that, for all admissible uncertainties, the resulting closed-loop system is stable and the closed-loop transfer function is extended strictly positive real. Sufficient conditions for the existence of desired controllers are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). When these LMIs are feasible, the expected memoryless state feedback controller can be easily constructed via convex optimization. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed approach.     

Output Feedback Stabilization of Networked Control Systems With Packet Dropouts

In this paper, we discuss the modeling and control of a class of networked control systems (NCSs) with packet dropouts. For the cases that there may be packet dropouts in both the backward and the forward channels in the communication network, and that the network-induced delays are shorter than one sampling period, the closed-loop NCS is modeled as a discrete-time switched system with four subsystems. By using the asynchronous dynamical systems approach and the average dwell-time method, sufficient conditions for the exponential stability of the closed-loop NCS are presented in terms of nonlinear matrix inequalities, and the relation between the packet dropout rate and the stability of the closed-loop NCS is explicitly established. A procedure involving an iterative algorithm is proposed to design the observer-based output feedback controllers. Lastly, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Hybrid one-way delay estimation for networked control system

One-way delay estimation in the forward and feedback channels is crucial for a networked control system (NCS) due to its important role in the reliability and availability design. Problems existing in current one-way delay estimation schemes are investigated in this paper. A novel hybrid one-way delay estimation scheme, utilizing the hybrid technique that contains an online monitoring mechanism and an end-to-end estimation method, is proposed to overcome the effects of network asymmetry and delay dynamics in the NCS. Therefore, accurate one-way delay values in the forward and feedback channels can be obtained. In the proposed scheme, only the delay value of the initial packet starting the control loop of the NCS is estimated by the online monitoring mechanism, all the other estimations are performed by the host using the end-to-end method. The experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed novel hybrid one-way delay estimation scheme is better than the other current estimation schemes for the NCS in terms of its high accuracy in tracking delay values as well as requiring lower computation complexity of the system.

Finite-model adaptive control using WLS-like algorithm

This paper concerns the adaptive control problem for a class of discrete-time nonlinear uncertain systems of which the internal uncertainty can be characterized by a finite set of functions. A WLS-like algorithm is used to design the feedback control law, which is tested to be effective and efficient in lots of simulations. It is proved that the closed-loop system is BIBO stable under weak conditions, and two counter-examples are constructed to show that the conditions proposed cannot be removed or weakened in general for this algorithm.
