Event-triggering in Distributed MPC of Decoupled Nonlinear Systems against DoS Attacks

The paper presents an event-triggered distributed model predictive control (DMPC) algorithm for a group of decoupled nonlinear systems under Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. By designing the distributed event-triggered scheme and buffer-based transmission strategy, the resilient control method is formed. The minimum sampling time interval of the closed-loop system is theoretically analyzed. We also develop sufficient conditions to guarantee the recursive feasibility of the algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed distributed MPC control scheme.
