Dynamic output feedback H∞ control for continuous-time networked control systems

This study is concerned with dynamic output feedback (DOF) H-infinity control for continuous-time networked control systems (NCSs). The packet dropouts and network-induced delays in the sensor-to-controller channel, and network-induced delays in the controller-to-actuator channel are taken into account. A linear estimation-based method is proposed to estimate the measurement output, and the non-uniform distribution characteristic of the measurement output arrival instant is taken into full consideration to establish a new model for the considered NCSs. Based on the newly established model and a new Lyapunov functional, the problem of DOF controller design is studied. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed DOF controller design.
