Static output feedback stabilization of networked control systems with a parallel-triggered scheme

This paper investigates the parallel-triggered static output feedback stabilization problem for linear networked control systems. A new parallel-triggered scheme is proposed by using both the relative error and the absolute error information. The scheme can reduce transmission rate while maintaining the global asymptotical stability. The linear parallel-triggered networked control system is modeled as a time-delay system. By employing Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions are established for the closed-loop system to be globally asymptotically stable in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, a co-design algorithm is developed to obtain both the optimal trigger parameters and the output feedback controller gain in the sense that the transmission rate is minimized. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the advantages of the proposed scheme. (C) 2018 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
