Distributed event-triggered cloud predictive control for consensus of multi-agent systems under DoS attacks

In this paper, a novel distributed event-triggered cloud predictive controller is designed for networked multi-agent control systems subject to periodic DoS attacks. In order to solve the collaboration problem of multi-agent system, a distributed event-triggered control strategy is proposed under the constraint that all agents can only communicate with one cloud server intermittently and reduce the communication burden. Meanwhile, we propose a new cloud predictive control scheme to achieve consensus and compensate for periodic DoS attacks actively. By using Lyapunov function method and system analysis method, the security of multi-agent system under attack is considered and give sufficient conditions to realize the consensus. Effectiveness of the proposed theoretical algorithm is demonstrated by simulation result.
