Quantized Control Design for Cognitive Radio Networks Modeled as Nonlinear Semi-Markovian Jump Systems

摘要

This paper is concerned with the quantized control design problem for a class of semi-Markovian jump systems with repeated scalar nonlinearities. A semi-Markovian system of this kind has been transformed into an associated Markovian system via a supplementary variable technique and a plant transformation. A sufficient condition for associated Markovian jump systems is developed. This condition guarantees that the corresponding closed-loop systems are stochastically stable and have a prescribed performance. The existence conditions for full- and reduced-order dynamic output feedback controllers are proposed, and the cone complementarity linearization procedure is employed to cast the controller design problem into a sequential minimization one, which can be solved efficiently with existing optimization techniques. Finally, an application to cognitive-radio systems demonstrates the efficiency of the new design method developed.
