ABSTRACT
This chapter develops a stabilizing sliding mode control for systems involving uncertainties as well as measurement data packet dropouts. In contrast to the existing literature that designs the switching function by using unavailable system states, a novel linear sliding function is constructed by employing only the available communicated system states for the systems involving measurement packet losses. This also equips us with the possibility to build a novel switching component for discrete-time sliding mode control DSMC by using only available system states. Finally, a numerical example is given to evaluate the performance of the designed DSMC for networked systems. Feedback control systems whose control loops involve real-time network are referred to as networked control systems (NCSs). The most significant advantages of NCSs, compared to the conventional control systems, are a smaller wiring system, lower overall cost, high reliability, as well as simple installation and maintenance etc.
