Networked Control Under Communication Constraints: A Time-Delay Approach

by Kun Liu, Emilia Fridman, Yuanqing Xia

Overview

This book presents a time-delay approach to the analysis and synthesis of networked control systems (NCSs) under communication constraints. Differently from other approaches, the time-delay approach to NCSs allows communication delays to be larger than the sampling intervals in the presence of scheduling prools. The book starts from a comprehensive introduction to three main approaches to sampled-data and networked control. It then focuses on time-delay approach, and the modelling of the closed-loop systems in the form of time-delay system. It presents discontinuous (in time) Lyapunov functional constructions that are efficient for NCSs in the presence of communications delays. Further, it highlights time-delay approaches developed to model and analyze NCSs under communication constraints, with a particular focus on dynamic quantization, round-robin, try-once-discard and shastic prools. The results are first presented for the continuous-time NCSs and then extended to discrete-time NCSs. Discussing recent developments in Lyapunov-based analysis of NCSs under communication constraints, the book is a valuable resource for researchers interested in sampled-data and networked control, and time-delay systems, as well as for graduate students in automatic control and systems theory.

Editorial Reviews

This book is well written and clear and constitute a very good reference for recent developments on the Lyapunov-based analysis of networked control under communication constraints, and which can be useful for the scientists and engineers with interest in sampled-data and networked control, time-delay systems, and of course to graduate students in automatic control and systems theory.” (Kaïs Ammari, zbMATH 1458.93002, 2021)
