Traffic Abstractions of Nonlinear Homogeneous Event-Triggered Control Systems

In previous work, linear time-invariant eventtriggered control (ETC) systems were abstracted to finite-state systems that capture the original systems’ sampling behaviour. It was shown that these abstractions can be employed for scheduling of communication traffic in networks of ETC loops. In this paper, we extend this framework to the class of nonlinear homogeneous systems, however adopting a different approach in a number of steps. Finally, we discuss how the proposed methodology could be extended to general nonlinear systems.
