Input-to-state stability of hybrid systems with receding horizon control in the presence of packet dropouts

Abstract: We analyze the stability of a constrained piecewise continuous hybrid system that is controlled by a receding horizon controller across an unreliable communication channel. We assume the presence of a buffer at the actuator to store the control input sequence received from the controller to compensate for any possible packet dropouts in future transmissions. Input-to-state stability is considered under the assumption that the number of consecutive packet dropouts is bounded using tightened state constraints in the optimization problem solved by the controller.
