On general systems with network-enhanced complexities
In recent years, the study of networked control systems (NCSs) has gradually become an active research area due to the advantages of using networked media in many aspects such as the ease of maintenance and installation, the large flexibility and the low cost. It is well known that the devices in networks are mutually connected via communication cables that are of limited capacity. Therefore, some network-induced phenomena have inevitably emerged in the areas of signal processing and control engineering. These phenomena include, but are not limited to, network-induced communication delays, missing data, signal quantization, saturations, and channel fading. It is of great importance to understand how these phenomena influence the closed-loop stability and performance properties
Stability analysis of event-triggered anytime control with multiple control laws
To deal with time-varying processor availability and lossy communication
channels in embedded and networked control systems, one can employ an
event-triggered sequence-based anytime control (E-SAC) algorithm. The main idea
of E-SAC is, when computing resources and measurements are available, to
compute a sequence of tentative control inputs and store them in a buffer for
potential future use. State-dependent Random-time Drift (SRD) approach is often
used to analyse and establish stability properties of such E-SAC algorithms.
However, using SRD, the analysis quickly becomes combinatoric and hence
difficult to extend to more sophisticated E-SAC. In this technical note, we
develop a general model and a new stability analysis for E-SAC based on Markov
jump systems. Using the new stability analysis, stochastic stability conditions
of existing E-SAC are also recovered. In addition, the proposed technique
systematically extends to a more sophisticated E-SAC scheme for which, until
now, no analytical expression had been obtained.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Automatic Contro
