Event-triggered control for networked control systems with quantization and packet losses

Problems of the quantized stabilization for event-triggered networked control systems (NCSs) with packet losses are addressed. To reduce the communication resources in NCSs, event-triggering scheme is adopted and designed. A NCS model is proposed which considers quantization, plant uncertainty, eventtriggering scheme and packet losses simultaneously. Sufficient conditions for the stabilization and control design are derived using the Lyapunov functional approach and control synthesis of event-triggered networked control systems are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, the maximal allowable number of successive packet losses in NCS is estimated. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
