In particular, an urgent need has arisen to understand the effects of communication processes on system performances. Sampling and protocol are two fundamental aspects of a communication process which have attracted a great deal of research attention. Most research focus has been on the analysis and control of dynamical behaviors under certain sampling procedures and communication protocols. In this paper, we aim to survey some recent advances on the analysis and synthesis issues of NCSs with different sampling procedures (time-and event-driven sampling) and protocols (static and dynamic protocols). First, these sampling procedures and protocols are introduced in detail according to their engineering backgrounds as well as dynamic natures. Then, the developments of the stabilization, control, and filtering problems are systematically reviewed and discussed in great detail. Finally, we conclude the paper by outlining future research challenges for analysis and synthesis problems of NCSs with different communication processes.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61329301, 61374127, and 61374010, the Royal Society of the UK, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
Scale-free Non-collaborative Linear Protocol Design for A Class of Homogeneous Multi-agent Systems
In this paper, we have focused on identifying a class of continuous- and
discrete-time MAS for which a scale-free non-collaborative (i.e., scale-free
fully distributed) linear protocol design is developed. We have identified
conditions on agent models that enable us to design scalable linear protocols.
Moreover, we show that these conditions are necessary if the agents are single
input and single output. We also provide a complete design of scalable
protocols for this class.Comment: This paper was submitted to IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control at
