Co-design of adaptive event-triggered mechanism and controller for networked control systems with uncertainty and time-varying delay

Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the co-design problem of event-triggered mechanisms and state feedback controllers for networked control systems with parameter uncertainty and network-induced delay. Firstly, to overcome the network bandwidth limitation, an adaptive event-triggered mechanism is used to filter the required sampling signals to reduce the network resource occupancy. Second, establish a unified model subject to event triggering mechanisms, parameter uncertainty, and network delay constraints, and derive the stability conditions of the system for the model by combining Lyapunov stability theory and the linear matrix inequality method. Then, the state feedback controller is designed to satisfy the event-triggering condition and certain robust performance requirements, and an optimisation method is proposed to compromise network resource consumption and control performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a numerical example.
