ABSTRACT

In the previous chapters, the optimal control of NCS in the presence of network imperfections is covered when disturbances are included provided the state vector of NCS is perfectly measured. While Halevi and Ray (1988), Zhang et al. (2001), Nilsson et al. (1998), and Lian et al. (2002) did not include the behavior of the communication protocol that causes these network imperfections, Schenato et al. (2007) studied the effect of communication protocols such as TCP and UDP by using LNCS with known dynamics and network imperfections and suggested observer-based optimal controller via the Riccati equation.
