Generalized Model Reference Scheduling and Control Co-Design with Guaranteed Performance

Abstract

In this paper, a generalized model-reference scheduling (GMRS) scheme is proposed for a networked control system (NCS) with guaranteed performance control and medium access constraint (MAC). The GMRS presented reduces conservatism to some extent, and its performance is improved by adjusting the weighted gain. In addition, two cases of uncertainty existing in the system matrix and control matrix are considered. For the first case, a co-design of guaranteed performance control and the GMRS is studied for the NCS with and without zero-order hold mechanism. For the second case, the uncertainty induced from time delay is considered in the guaranteed performance control and the GMRS co-design. Finally, illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed co-design schemes.
