Abstract

This paper investigates the robust stability analysis and state feedback controller design of networked control systems (NCSs). A stochastic network-induced delay in given interval with known lower and upper bounds is considered. Therefore, the NCS is modeled as linear system with probabilistic time-varying delay distribution. Then, the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is formulated using probabilistic informations of both lower and upper bounds of the time-varying network-induced delay, and Wirtinger-based integral inequalities are used to estimate the accuracy of the resulting time derivatives and also to reduce conservatism by introducing some new cross terms. Afterwards, stability condition based on [Formula: see text] disturbance attenuation level is expressed in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and Finsler’s lemma is used to relax it by adding slack decision variables and decoupling the systems matrices from those of Lyapunov-Krasovskii. This procedure makes the state feedback controller design as simple as a variables change. Finally, a maximum allowable upper bound of the network-induced delay and state feedback controller gains are calculated by resolving the above relaxed LMIs’ convex optimization problem. Practical numerical examples are provided to validate the proposed approach; the results show that the negative effects of the unpredictable network-induced delays are compensated and the stability of NCSs with high disturbance attenuation level is guaranteed. A comparative study with other results in recent researches is also given and the superiority of the proposed method in terms of robustness and conservatism reduction is shown.
