An Introduction to Event-based Control for Networked Control Systems

This paper aims at making an overview of three different triggering control schemes for networked control systems based on previous works, namely, time-triggered control, event-triggered control and self-triggered control. By referring to large amount of others' works, this paper makes a comparison and analysis of the three triggering schemes and introduces some new control methods based on them. Transmission delay and data dropout are still two serious problems in the networked control systems needing to be coped with. Scheduling protocols are simply introduced at last. Through the analysis, we can conclude that event-triggered control method is most people's choice and have been used to solve difficult problems in many occasions.
