Distributed Dynamic Event-Triggered Leader-Following Consensus for Nonlinear Multiagent Systems Over Fading Channel

This article investigates the leader-following consensus problem of discrete-time nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) over fading channels. With the consideration of the transmission among followers maybe affected by the fading networks, the nonidentical fading channels model is constructed. To reduce the transmission network burden, the dynamical event-triggered mechanism (DETM) is developed. Different from most of existing event-triggered strategies, the threshold parameter in the developed dynamical event-triggering condition is dynamically adjusted according to a dynamic rule. Based on the DETM, a distributed consensus control protocol is designed under fading channels. Then, sufficient criteria are provided to ensure that MASs can achieve the leaser-following consensus, and satisfy the $H_{\infty }$ performance index in the presence of fading channels. The desired controller parameters can be derived in terms of solutions of matrix inequalities that are lightly solvable. In the end, simulation results show that the designed dynamical event transmission policy is capable of diminishing communication burden more promptly and effectively than some existing ones.
