Control of Discrete-Time Stochastic Systems With Packet Loss by Event-Triggered Approach

Event-triggered schemes are characterized in less communication traffic while maintaining the resulting controlled plant's desired stability and performance criteria. In the presence of packet dropouts, this paper is concerned with the modeling and control problems for a class of discrete-time stochastic systems with event-triggered schemes. Two different mathematical analysis methods are proposed to model the packet loss when an event-triggered scheme is subject to packet loss. First, a stochastic distributed sequence satisfying the Bernoulli process is utilized to model the triggered packets transmitted in the communication networks. Considering the difference between time-triggered and event-triggered schemes, an equivalent model with a random sequence not satisfying a Bernoulli distribution process is also analyzed, which is not the same as some existing results in the literature. Then, the mean-square exponential stability of resulting augmented system is guaranteed and the prescribed H

performance level is achieved by solving resulting discrete P-problem. Two examples with simulations are provided to validate the analytical results and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed co-design techniques.
