Model-Based Control Systems with Intermittent Feedback

Chapter 4 develops the idea of intermittent feedback in the context of MB-NCS. The general idea using the intermittent feedback approach is to operate a control system in open-loop mode for as long as possible in order to reduce the use of resources (communication resources when applied to NCS) and to change the mode of operation to closed-loop mode in order to recover some desired performance by applying a continuous feedback control action. The main difference is that the update strategy in previous chapters uses instantaneous feedback, that is, a single set of measurements is sent from the sensor node to the controller node once every h time units. In contrast, the intermittent approach establishes a closed-loop operation mode in which multiple measurements are transmitted starting at every h time units.
