Markovian jump guaranteed cost congestion control strategies for large scale mobile networks with differentiated services traffic

In this paper, two novel congestion control strategies for mobile networks with differentiated services (Diff-Serv) traffic are presented, namely (i) a Markovian jump decentralized guaranteed cost congestion control strategy, and (ii) a Markovian jump distributed guaranteed cost congestion control strategy. The switchings or changes in the network topology are modeled by a Markovian jump process. By utilizing guaranteed cost control principles, the proposed congestion control schemes do indeed take into account the associated physical network resource constraints and are shown to be robust to unknown and time-varying network latencies and time delays. A set of Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) conditions are obtained to guarantee the QoS of the Diff-Serv traffic with a guaranteed upper bound cost. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and capabilities of our proposed strategies. Comparisons with centralized and other relevant works in the literature focused on Diff-Serv traffic and mobile networks are also provided to demonstrate the advantages of our proposed solutions.     

Robust normalization and guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain singular Markovian jump systems via hybrid impulsive control

This paper investigates the problem of robust normalization and guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain singular Markovian jump systems. The uncertainties exhibit in both system matrices and transition rate matrix of the Markovian chain. A new impulsive and proportional‐derivative control strategy is presented, where the derivative gain is to make the closed‐loop system of the singular plant to be a normal one, and the impulsive control part is to make the value of the Lyapunov function does not increase at each time instant of the Markovian switching. A linearization approach via congruence transformations is proposed to solve the controller design problem. The cost function is minimized via solving an optimization problem under the designed control scheme. Finally, three examples (two numerical examples and an RC pulse divider circuit example) are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed methods.

A Markovian jump system approach to consensus of heterogeneous multiagent systems with partially unknown and uncertain attack strategies

The problem of robust leader‐following consensus of heterogeneous multiagent systems subject to deny‐of‐service attacks is investigated, where attack strategies are partially unknown and uncertain to defender. A Markovian jump system approach is proposed, that is, capable of describing the occurrence of different attack strategies, and the occurring probability of each attack strategy is represented by the transition probability of the Markovian jump model. Then, sufficient conditions are derived such that the output tracking performance can be guaranteed. In order to design the controller gains, some slack matrices are introduced, which can provide some design freedom. Finally, it is shown that the controller design results can be applied to the multivehicle position‐tracking system. The simulation results reveal that the consensus performance is much better if one has more statistics information on attacks.     

Robust nonfragile guaranteed cost control for uncertain T-S fuzzy Markov jump systems with mode-dependent average dwell time and input constraint

This paper aims to investigate the problem of robust nonfragile guaranteed cost control for uncertain Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with Markov jump parameters, time-varying delay and input constraint. A nonfragile mode-dependent fuzzy controller with mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) is designed with input constraint. A sufficient condition is developed to ensure that the resulting closed-loop system is robust almost surely asymptotically stable with guaranteed cost index not exceeding the specified upper bound. Subsequently, the controller gain and upper bound of the guaranteed cost index can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, numerical and practical examples are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.

Observer‐based consensus control of nonlinear multiagent systems under semi‐Markovian switching topologies and cyber attacks

This article investigates the leader‐following consensus of nonlinear multiagent systems under semi‐Markovian switching topologies and cyber attacks. Unlike the related works, the communication channels considered herein are subjected to successful but recoverable attacks, and when the channels work well, the network topology is time‐varying and described by a semi‐Markovian switching topology. Due to the effect of attacks, the communication network is intermittently paralyzed. For the cases that the transition rates of semi‐Markovian switching topologies are completely known and partially unknown, observer‐based control protocols and sufficient conditions are proposed, respectively, to ensure the consensus of the systems in the mean square sense. Finally, simulation examples are given to illustrate the validity of the theoretical results.     

Switching predictive control for continuous-time Markovian jump delay systems

This paper is concerned with switching model predictive control (SMPC) for continuous-time Markovian jump delay systems (MJDSs). First, a piecewise constant switching predictive controller, which only depends on the average dwell time (ADT) switching laws rather than the jumping modes, is obtained by employing the ADT approach under the infinite-time predictive control design framework. Such a control strategy is proposed to make a trade-off between robustness and adaptivity when the design complexity of mode-independent and mode-dependent MPC is considered. It is revealed that the SMPC can deal with MJDSs with both time varying and time invariant jump rates and cover the mode-independent MPC as a special cease. Second, the feasibility of the SMPC scheme and the mean square stability of the closed-loop MJDS are discussed by using the stochastic invariance of the ellipsoid set over each sampling period. A numerical example is given to illustrate the main results.     

Robust stabilisation of uncertain delayed Markovian jump systems and its applications

This paper is concerned with the robust stabilsation of uncertain delayed Markovian jump systems. Given a Markovian jump system with time delay and Brownian motion simultaneously, we allow the uncertainty added in the form of additive perturbations and existing in the drift and diffusion sections at the same time. A sufficient condition on the mean square stability of system in the face of such disturbances is obtained, which is similar to small-gain theorem. A kind of partially delay-dependent controller stabilising the resulting closed-loop system is firstly designed to relate to the probability distribution of delay, whose key idea is applied to construct a delayed controller with disordering phenomenon. It is seen that the existence conditions established here could be solved easily. Based on the proposed results, some applications on robust synchronisation of uncertain delayed multi-agent systems with Markovian switching are considered. It is shown that the robust synchronisation of such an uncertain multi-agent network could be achieved by a protocol that each controller being partially delay-dependent or disordering could robustly stabilise a given single Markovian jump system. As for these cases, the proposed protocols could be obtained by solving certain algebraic Riccati equations and inequalities, which also involve weighting factors and depend on the eigenvalues of the Laplacian graph.     

Real-time guaranteed cost control of MIMO networked control systems with packet disordering

This paper discusses guaranteed cost control for multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) networked control systems (NCSs) with multi-channel packet disordering. Considering the time-varying and bounded network transmission delay, packet dropout and packet disordering, a novel model of NCSs is proposed by introducing the concept of packet displacement. It is worthwhile mentioned that this model can fully describe the dynamic characteristic of network and always guarantee the newest control input executed by the plant, which makes that the plant can be controlled in real time. The resulting closed-loop systems are jump linear systems due to the newest signals executed subject to Markovian chains. A real-time controller is designed for uncertain and certain NCSs based on Markovian theory combined with linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques such that the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound that varies according to Quality of Services (QOS). Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
