Stabilization of Continuous-Time Systems Against Stochastic Network Uncertainties: Fundamental Variance Bounds

This paper studies the stabilizability and stabilization of continuous-time systems in the presence of stochastic multiplicative uncertainties. The authors consider multi-input, multi-output(MIMO) linear time-invariant systems subject to multiple static, structured stochastic uncertainties,and seek to derive fundamental conditions to ensure that a system can be stabilized under a mean-square criterion. In the stochastic control framework, this problem can be considered as one of optimal control under state-or input-dependent random noises, while in the networked control setting, a problem of networked feedback stabilization over lossy communication channels. The authors adopt a mean-square small gain analysis approach, and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a system to be meansquare stabilizable via output feedback. For single-input, single-output(SISO) systems, the condition provides an analytical bound, demonstrating explicitly how plant unstable poles, nonminimum phase zeros, and time delay may impose a limit on the uncertainty variance required for mean-square stabilization. For MIMO minimum phase systems with possible delays, the condition amounts to solving a generalized eigenvalue problem, readily solvable using linear matrix inequality optimization techniques.

Controllability and observability of networked control systems with time-varying delays

The controllability and observability of networked control systems are studied. Aiming at the networked control system with time-varying delay, the sufficient and necessary conditions for complete controllability and complete observability of the system are presented, respectively. Because of Markov characteristic of the network-induced delay, in terms of stochastic theory, a sufficient and necessary condition for completely mean value controllability of networked control systems is obtained. Further, the conditions that the controllability and observability of networked control systems are equivalent to the initial time-invariant system are given. Controllability and observability realization indexes are also discussed, respectively. The numerical example demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed theory.

Optimal Output Tracking Control and Stabilization of Networked Control Systems with Packet Losses

This paper studies the optimal output tracking control and stabilization for networked control systems with packet losses via output feedback control. Both finite-horizon and infinite-horizon cases are considered. For the finite-horizon case, the authors introduce an augmented system according to the state variable and the reference trajectory for the first time.

Uniformed model of networked control systems with long time delay

Feedback control systems wherein the control loops are closed through a real-time network are called networked control systems （NCS）. The defining feature of an NCS is that information is exchanged using a network among control system components. Two new concepts including long time delay and short time delay are proposed. The sensor is almost always clock driven. The controller or the actuator is either clock driven or event driven. Four possible driving modes of networked control systems are presented. The open loop mathematic models of networked control systems with long time delay are developed when the system is driven by anyone of the four different modes. The uniformed modeling method of networked control systems with long time delay is proposed. The simulation results are given in the end.

Quantized dynamic output feedback control for networked control systems

The problem of the quantized dynamic output feedback controller design for networked control systems is mainly discussed. By using the quantized information of the system measurement output and the control input, a novel networked control system model is described. This model includes many networkinduced features, such as multi-rate sampled-data, quantized signal, time-varying delay and packet dropout. By constructing suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a less conservative stabilization criterion is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The quantized control strategy involves the updating values of the quantizer parameters μi(i = 1, 2)(μi take on countable sets of values which dependent on the information of the system measurement outputs and the control inputs). Furthermore, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Guaranteed cost control for discrete-time networked control systems with random Markov delays

The guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain discrete-time networked control systems with random delays is addressed.The sensor-to-controller (S-C) and contraller-to-actuator (C-A) random network-induced delays are modeled as two Markov chains.The focus is on the design of a two-mode-dependent guaranteed cost controller,which depends on both the current S-C delay and the most recently available C-A delay.The resulting closed-loop systems are special jump linear systems.Sufficient conditions for existence of guaranteed cost controller and an upper bound of cost function are established based on stochastic Lyapunov-Krasovakii functions and linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach.A simulation example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Ho∞-based fault detection for nonlinear networked systems with random packet dropout and probabilistic interval delay

The fault detection problem for the nonlinear networked control system (NCS) with packet dropout and delay is investigated.A nonlinear stochastic system model is proposed to account for the NCS with random packet dropout and networkinduced non-uniformly distributed time-varying delay in both from sensor to controller (S/C) and from controller to actuator (C/A).Based on the obtained NCS model,employing an observer-based fault detection filter as the residual generator,the addressed fault detection problem is converted into an auxiliary nonlinear H∞ control problem.Then,with the help of Lyapunov functional approach,a sufficient condition for the desired fault detection filter is constructed in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities,which depend on not only the delay interval but also the delay interval occurrence rate and successful packet communication rate.Especially,a trade-off phenomenon between the maximum allowable delay bound and successful data packet transmission rate is found,which is typically resulted from the limited bandwidth of communication networks.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a simulation example.
