Absolute stability and stabilization for Lurie networked control systems

This paper investigates the problem of absolute stability and stabilization for networked control systems (NCSs) with the controlled plant being Lurie systems (Lurie NCSs), in which the network‐induced delays are assumed to be time‐varying and bounded. By considering the relationship between the network‐induced delay and its upper bound, an improved stability criterion for networked control system is proposed. Furthermore, the resulting condition is extended to design a state feedback controller by employing an improved cone complementary linearization (ICCL) algorithm. A numerical example is worked out to illustrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Model predictive control for networked control systems

This paper investigates the problem of model predictive control for a class of networked control systems. Both sensor‐to‐controller and controller‐to‐actuator delays are considered and described by Markovian chains. The resulting closed‐loop systems are written as jump linear systems with two modes. The control scheme is characterized as a constrained delay‐dependent optimization problem of the worst‐case quadratic cost over an infinite horizon at each sampling instant. A linear matrix inequality approach for the controller synthesis is developed. It is shown that the proposed state feedback model predictive controller guarantees the stochastic stability of the closed‐loop system. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Output tracking control for networked control systems with time delay and packet dropout

This article studies the problems of H _∞ output tracking performance analysis and controller design for networked control systems (NCSs) with time delay and packet dropout. By using linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based method, H _∞ output tracking performance analysis and controller design are presented for NCSs with constant sampling period. For NCSs with time-varying sampling period, a multi-objective optimisation methodology in terms of LMIs is used to deal with H _∞ output tracking performance analysis and controller design. The designed controllers can guarantee asymptotic tracking of prescribed reference outputs while rejecting disturbances. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed H _∞ output tracking controller design.     

Asymptotic stability analysis of nonlinear real-time networked control systems

The paper deals with the problem of the asymptotic stability for general continuous nonlinear networked control systems （NCSs）. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem combined with improved Razumikhin technique, the sufficient conditions of asymptotic stability for the system are derived. With the proposed method, the estimate of maximum allowable delay bound （MADB） for linear networked control system is also given. Compared to the other methods, the proposed method gives a much less conservative MADB and more general results. Numerical examples and some simulations are worked out to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed method.     

Event‐triggered predictive control for networked control systems with network‐induced delays and packet dropouts

This paper presents an event‐triggered predictive control approach to stabilize a networked control system subject to network‐induced delays and packet dropouts, for which the states are not measurable. An observer‐based event generator is first designed according to the deviation between the state estimation at the current time and the one at the last trigger time. A predictive control scheme with a selector is then proposed to compensate the effect of network‐induced delays and packet dropouts. Sufficient conditions for stabilization of the networked control system are derived by solving linear matrix inequalities and the corresponding gains of the controller and the observer are obtained. It is shown that the event‐triggered implementation is able to realize reduction in communication and save bandwidth resources of feedback channel networks. A simulation example of an inverted pendulum model illustrates the efficacy of the proposed scheme.     

Stabilization of networked control systems with short or long random delays: A new multirate method

In this paper, the stabilization of a class of networked control systems (NCSs) with time‐varying delay is discussed where the random delay is less than one sensor period or more than one sensor period but bounded. A new multirate method is proposed to formulate the union model for both short and long random delays. Sufficient conditions on the existence of stabilizing controllers are established when the transition probability matrix is known. V‐K iteration approach is employed to calculate the mode‐dependent and mode‐independent state‐feedback gains of NCSs. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Sampled‐data control of networked nonlinear systems with variable delays and drops

This paper investigates the stabilization problem of the nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) with drops and variable delays. The NCS is modeled as a sampled‐data system. For such a sampled‐data NCS, the stability properties are studied for delay that can be both shorter and longer than one sampling period, respectively. The exponential stability conditions are derived in terms of the parameters of the plant and time delay. On the other hand, a model‐based control scheme based on an approximate discrete‐time model of the plant is presented to guarantee the stability of the closed‐loop system subject to variable time delays and packet losses. The performance of the proposed control schemes are examined through numerical simulations of an automated rendezvous and docking of spacecraft system. Moreover, the simulations show that by employing the model‐based controller, a higher closed‐loop control performance can be achieved. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Predictive observer‐based control for networked control systems with network‐induced delay and packet dropout

This paper addresses the stability analysis and synthesis problems for a class of networked control systems (NCSs) under effects of both network‐induced delay and packet dropout. The motivation comes from the increasing NCS applications where the full state vector is not available. To handle the concerned problems, two predictive observer‐based controllers are constructed. The first one is a memoryless controller with the predictive observer collocated with the plant. The second one, with the predictive observer colocated with the controller, uses the last effective plant information as well as the knowledge of the plant dynamics. The stability conditions of NCSs are derived via both network‐condition‐dependent Lyapunov function and common quadric Lyapunov function. The corresponding controller design problems are also solved based upon the obtained stability conditions. Simulation and experimental results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Input-to-state stability for networked control systems via an improved impulsive system approach

This paper presents a novel impulsive system approach to input-to-state stability (ISS) analysis of networked control systems (NCSs) with time-varying sampling intervals and delays. This approach is based upon the new idea that an NCS can be viewed as an interconnected hybrid system composed of an impulsive subsystem and an input delay subsystem. A new type of time-varying discontinuous Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which makes full use of the information on the piecewise-constant input and the bounds of the network delays, is introduced to analyze the ISS property of NCSs. Linear matrix inequality based sufficient conditions are derived for ISS of NCSs with respect to external disturbances. When applied to the approximate tracking problem for NCSs, the derived ISS result provides bounds on the steady-state tracking error. Numerical examples are provided to show the efficiency of the proposed approach.

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.
