Guaranteed cost control for discrete-time networked control systems with random Markov delays

Abstract

The guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain discrete-time networked control systems with random delays is ad- dressed. The sensor-to-controller (S-C) and contraller-to-actuator (C-A) random network-induced delays are modeled as two Markov chains. The focus is on the design of a two-mode-dependent guar- anteed cost controller, which depends on both the current S-C delay and the most recently available C-A delay. The resulting closed-loop systems are special jump linear systems. Sufficient conditions for existence of guaranteed cost controller and an up- per bound of cost function are established based on stochastic Lyapunov-Krasovakii functions and linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. A simulation example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
