Observer-based H∞ control for networked systems with consecutive packet delays and losses

This paper considers the control problem for networked control systems (NCSs) with unreliable data communication. The unreliable data communication simultaneously exists in both control channel (from controller to actuator) and measurement channel (from sensor to controller) and may cause consecutive packet delays and losses. A new model is established based on all possible consecutive packet delays and losses. The observer-based controller is designed to exponentially stabilize the networked system in the sense of mean square, and also achieve the prescribed H∞ disturbance attenuation level. An iterative algorithm is developed to compute the optimal H∞ disturbance attenuation and the controller parameters by solving the semi-definite programming problem via interior-point approach. An illustrative example is provided to show the applicability of the proposed method.
