Observer-based defense control for networked Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems against asynchronous DoS attacks

Abstract

This article investigates the defense control problem for sampled-data Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with multiple transmission channels against asynchronous denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Firstly, a new switching security control method is proposed to tolerate the asynchronous DoS attacks that act independently on each channel. Then, based on switching strategy, the resulting augmented sampled-data system can be converted into new switched systems including several stable subsystems and one open-loop subsystem. Besides, by applying the piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii (L-K) function method, membership functions (MFs) dependent sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the exponential stability of newly constructed switching systems. Moreover, quantitative relations among the sampling period, the exponential decay rate, and the rate of all channels being fully attacked and not being completely attacked are established. Finally, simulation examples show the effectiveness of the developed defense control approach.
