Anytime Control using Input Sequences with Markovian Processor Availability
We study an anytime control algorithm for situations where the processing
resources available for control are time-varying in an a priori unknown
fashion. Thus, at times, processing resources are insufficient to calculate
control inputs. To address this issue, the algorithm calculates sequences of
tentative future control inputs whenever possible, which are then buffered for
possible future use. We assume that the processor availability is correlated so
that the number of control inputs calculated at any time step is described by a
Markov chain. Using a Lyapunov function based approach we derive sufficient
conditions for stochastic stability of the closed loop.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, to be publishe
Remote State Estimation with Smart Sensors over Markov Fading Channels
We consider a fundamental remote state estimation problem of discrete-time
linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. A smart sensor forwards its local state
estimate to a remote estimator over a time-correlated -state Markov fading
channel, where the packet drop probability is time-varying and depends on the
current fading channel state. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition
for mean-square stability of the remote estimation error covariance as
, where denotes the
spectral radius, is the state transition matrix of the LTI system,
is a diagonal matrix containing the packet drop probabilities in
different channel states, and is the transition probability matrix
of the Markov channel states. To derive this result, we propose a novel
estimation-cycle based approach, and provide new element-wise bounds of matrix
powers. The stability condition is verified by numerical results, and is shown
more effective than existing sufficient conditions in the literature. We
observe that the stability region in terms of the packet drop probabilities in
different channel states can either be convex or concave depending on the
transition probability matrix . Our numerical results suggest that
the stability conditions for remote estimation may coincide for setups with a
smart sensor and with a conventional one (which sends raw measurements to the
remote estimator), though the smart sensor setup achieves a better estimation
performance.Comment: The paper has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Automatic

Anytime Control Using Input Sequences With Markovian Processor Availability
Abstract-We study an anytime control algorithm for situations where the processing resources available for control are timevarying in an a priori unknown fashion. At times, processing resources are insufficient to calculate control inputs. To address this issue, the algorithm calculates sequences of tentative future control inputs whenever possible, which are then buffered for possible future use. We assume that the processor availability is correlated so that the number of control inputs calculated at any time step is described by a Markov chain. Using a Lyapunov function based approach we derive sufficient conditions for stochastic stability of the closed loop
Optimal Control for Aperiodic Dual-Rate Systems With Time-Varying Delays
[EN] In this work, we consider a dual-rate scenario with slow input and fast output. Our objective is the maximization of the decay rate of the system through the suitable choice of the n-input signals between two measures (periodic sampling) and their times of application. The optimization algorithm is extended for time-varying delays in order to make possible its implementation in networked control systems. We provide experimental results in an air levitation system to verify the validity of the algorithm in a real plant.This work was supported in part by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) under the Projects DPI2012-31303 and DPI2014-55932-C2-2-R.Aranda-Escolástico, E.; Salt Llobregat, JJ.; Guinaldo, M.; Chacon, J.; Dormido, S.
