Feedback Stabilization of Uncertain Networked Control Systems Over Delayed and Fading Channels

摘要

In this article, we characterize the joint effects of plant uncertainty, transmission delay, and fading channel on the stabilization problem of networked control systems (NCSs). We assume that the controller remotely controls the plant and the control packet is transmitted over a delayed and fading channel. We formulate the integrated system as an uncertain discrete-time stochastic system with both input delay and multiplicative noise. The innovative contributions of this article are described as follows. We propose a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for stabilizing an uncertain-free system. Moreover, for the general uncertain model, we derive the necessary and sufficient stabilization condition in terms of symmetric matrix homogeneous polynomials, which can be verified by linear matrix inequality (LMI) feasibility test. As an application, under the parallel transmission strategy, we derive an explicit formula for computing the maximum allowable delay bound, which is uniquely determined by system parameters and signal-to-noise ratio.
