Communication-Protocol-Based Filtering and Control of Networked Systems

This book provides new concepts, new models and new methodologies with practical significance in control engineering and signal processing. The book first establishes signal-transmission models subject to different communication prools and then develops new filter design techniques based on those models and preset requirements for filtering performance. The authors then extend this work to finite-horizon -infinity control, ultimately bounded control and finite-horizon consensus control. The focus throughout is on three typical communications prools: the round-robin, random-access and try-once-and-discard prools, and the systems studied are drawn from a variety of classes, among them nonlinear systems, time-delayed and time-varying systems, multi-agent systems and complex networks. Readers are shown the latest techniques—recursive linear matrix inequalities, backward recursive difference equations, shastic analysis and mapping methods. The unified framework for communication-prool-based filtering and control for different networked systems established in the book will be of interest to academic researchers and practicing engineers working with communications and other signal-processing systems. Senior undergraduate and graduate students looking to increase their knowledge of current methods in control and signal processing of networked systems will also find this book valuable.
