Quantized Output Feedback Control of Networked Control Systems with Packet Dropout

This paper considers the quantized dynamic output feedback control of networked control system(NCS) with random packet dropout in both sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator channels. The packet losses in the two links are modeled as two independent Markov chains and the NCS is modeled as a Markov jump system. The stochastic switching signal for the quantized output feedback controller is designed to be a function of the number of successive packet loss in both of the two channels. Quantization density varies with the networked load condition. Then a sufficient condition of the stochastic stability with a prescribed H_∞ performance level is established based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii function approach. Furthermore, a quantized output feedback controller is obtained via the cone complement linearization method. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
