Cloud-Based Event-Triggered Predictive Control for Heterogeneous NMASs Under Both DoS Attacks and Transmission Delays

A novel compensation control method for heterogeneous multiagent systems under Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and transmission delays is investigated in this article. This control method has all the advantages of the cloud-based computation strategy, the adaptive event-triggered strategy, and the predictive control scheme. The adaptive event-triggering mechanism can adjust the event numbers adaptively, the predictive control can reduce or eliminate the negative effects brought out by both DoS attacks and transmission delays actively, while the cloud-based computation strategy can eliminate the negative effects completely as the same as there are no DoS attacks and transmission delays. Through the interval decomposition skill and the augmented system modeling method, the compensated geschlossenes system model is established. Moreover, the joint design for the feedback gain matrices and the event-triggered parameters is implemented. In the simulation part, five VTOL aircraft are used to demonstrate the theoretical results.
