Data-based predictive control for networked nonlinear systems with packet dropout and measurement noise

In this paper, the data-based control problem is investigated for a class of networked nonlinear systems with measurement noise as well as packet dropouts in the feedback and forward channels. The measurement noise and the number of consecutive packet dropouts in both channels are assumed to be random but bounded. A data-based networked predictive control method is proposed, in which a sequence of control increment predictions are calculated in the controller based on the measured output error, and based on the control increment predictions received by the actuator, a proper control action is obtained and applied to the plant according to the real-time number of consecutive packet dropouts at each sampling instant. Then the stability analysis is performed for the networked closedloop system. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by a numerical example.     

A Novel Networked Predictive Control Method for Systems with Random Communication Constraints

This paper presents a novel observer-based predictive control method for networked systems where random network-induced delays, packet disorders and packet dropouts in both feedback and forward channels are considered. The proposed method has three significant features: i) A concept of destination-based lumped(DBL) delay is introduced to represent the combined effects of random communication constraints in each channel; ii) in view of different natures of the random DBL delays in the feedback and forward channels, different compensation schemes are designed; and iii) it is actual control inputs rather than predicted ones that are employed to generate future control signals based on the latest system state estimate available in the controller. For the resulting closed-loop system, a necessary and sufficient stability condition is derived, which is less conservative and also independent of random communication constraints in both channels. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate 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.     

Impulsive controller design for nonlinear networked control systems with time delay and packet dropouts

The globally exponential stability of nonlinear impulsive networked control systems(NINCS) with time delay and packet dropouts is investigated.By applying Lyapunov function theory,sufficient conditions on the global exponential stability are derived by introducing a comparison system and estimating the corresponding Cauchy matrix.An impulsive controller is explicitly designed to achieve exponential stability and ensure state converge with a given decay rate for the system.The Lorenz oscillator system is presented as a numerical example to illustrate the theoretical results and effectiveness of the proposed controller design procedure.

State feedback control of network-based systems with packet disordering

A new method that stabilizes network-based systems with both bounded delay and packet disordering is discussed under the state feedback controller. A novel model, fully describing the dynamic characteristic of network-based systems with packet disordering, is constructed. Different from the existing models of network-based systems, the number of delay items is time-varying in the model proposed. Further, this model is converted into a parameter-uncertain discrete-time system with time-varying delay item numbers in terms of matrix theory. Moreover, the less conservative stability condition is obtained by avoiding utilisation of Moon et al.’ inequality and bounding inequalities for quadratic functional terms. By solving a minization problem based on linear matrix inequalities, the state feedback controller is presented. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Distributed Event-Triggered Tracking Control of Heterogeneous Discrete-Time Multi-Agent Systems with Unknown Parameters

In this paper, a novel design framework is developed to solve the cooperative tracking problem of heterogeneous discrete-time multi-agent systems with unknown agent parameters and directed communication topologies. First, a distributed event-triggered observer is developed to handle the heterogeneity of the multi-agent systems. An event-triggering mechanism is proposed to reduce the amount of data transmission between neighboring agents. Then, based on the proposed observer, a discrete-time distributed model reference adaptive controller is presented to deal with the unknown parameters of the multi-agent systems. It is shown that by using the proposed observer and the model reference adaptive controller, the proposed design framework could achieve output tracking of the unknown multi-agent systems for any communication graph containing a directed spanning tree. Finally, an example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Event-Triggered Sampled-Data Consensus of Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems with Control Input Losses

This paper investigates the leader-following consensus problem for multi-agent systems with event-triggered mechanism and control packet losses. Based on the local synchronization error, event-triggered mechanisms are proposed in order to reduce the number of controller update. The control packet may lose due to unreliability of communication channel. With the assumption that once the packet loss happens the controller will be set to zero, sufficient consensus criteria for multi-agent system with event-triggered mechanism and control packet losses is obtained. It is also shown that the interplay among the allowable packet loss rate, event-triggered mechanism and sampling period. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Performance Improvement of NCSs Under Complex Network via Concurrent Paths

Different from the single paths between controllers and plants of networked control systems(NCSs), the complex network provides widespread links and brings plenty of paths from the controller side to the plant side. Benefit from this advantage, a novel data transmission dispatching strategy is proposed. When the direct path can not satisfy the condition of system demand, neither stability nor performance, some specified paths compose a concurrent-path to transmit the control signal concurrently. Firstly, the networked control systems(NCSs) are expressed by the switched systems model with the constant network-induced delay, and the network communication is described as a packet-loss process. Secondly, taking system's exponential decay rate as its performance indicator, the relationship between control signal transmission paths and system performance is quantitatively given by considering packet losses as the compound poisson process and the alternating renewal process. Then, due to that different combination of paths induces the different statistical properties of packet losses, the approach to find an appropriate concurrent-path is proposed concerning two mutually constrained factors, the system performance demand and the utilization of network resources. After the theoretical analysis, a distributed communication platform based on peer-to-peer(P2P) network technology is designed and implemented to realize the concurrent-path transmission on internet. Finally, the practical experiment on the platform demonstrates the validity and effectiveness of proposed approach.
