ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the problem of designing a robust output feedback discrete-time sliding mode control (ODSMC) for the networked systems involving both measuring and actuating data packet losses. Packet losses in the networked control systems (NCSs) have been modeled by utilizing the probability and the characteristics of the sources and the destinations. The Bernoulli random binary distribution is used to model consecutive packet losses in the NCSs. The chapter proposes a robust observer-based discrete-time sliding mode control for the NCSs including random packet losses. The packet losses occur in the channels from the sensors to the controller and the channels from the controller to the actuators. Then, using the notion of exponential mean square stability, the boundedness of the obtained closed-loop system is analyzed with an LMI approach. Illustrative examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
