Output Feedback Stabilization of Networked Control Systems Under a Stochastic Scheduling Protocol

This paper investigates the output feedback stabilization problem for networked control systems under a stochastic scheduling protocol. First, an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) scheduling protocol is introduced to orchestrate the signal transmission via a communication network. Taking into account the i.i.d protocol, network-induced delay, and packet dropout, a stochastic impulsive delayed model is presented for the studied system. Second, by use of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, sufficient conditions for guaranteeing the stability of the studied system in the mean-square sense are obtained in the form of matrix inequalities. Moreover, an optimization algorithm is investigated to obtain the suitable dynamic output feedback controller and optimal i.i.d protocol parameters simultaneously. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to show the validity of the proposed method.
