Observer‐based sampled‐data control for networked systems with consecutive packet dropouts.

This paper investigates the observer‐based sampled‐data control problem for networked systems with consecutive packet dropouts. A new consecutive packet dropout model is established to describe the phenomenon of packet dropout in both the sensor‐controller (S‐C) and controller‐actuator (C‐A) channels. First, the considered system with observer‐based control scheme is studied in the discrete‐time domain by using equivalent discretization transformation. In order to simplify subsequent analysis, matrix exponential computation is employed to transform the discrete‐time system into a more tractable form. Then, the proposed new consecutive packet dropout model is taken into consideration to establish the stochastic mean square exponential stability condition. Furthermore, a novel two‐step synthesis approach is used to design the observer‐based controller. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed observer‐based sampled‐data control approach is verified using a numerical example. In addition, the advantages of the proposed approach are validated through comparisons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
