Impulsive controller for wireless networked control system: Switched system approach

The problem of stabilization for wireless networked control system (NCS) with packet dropout and time delay is studied in this article. The impulsive control law for the NCS is defined with time delay and impulse. Using a switching model, the network‐induced imperfections can be treated as three switching subsystems. Therein, in the case of packet dropout, the control law use the previous state via the first‐order hold. The impulsive control law is designed using the switched system approach and the average dwell time method. The obtained sufficient conditions which can guarantee the exponential stability of switched system are in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical example is used to demonstrate the merits and applicabilities of the proposed method. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 291–299, 2016
