Quantized feedback sliding-mode control: An event-triggered approach

This paper is concerned with the robust stabilization of quantized feedback sliding-mode control (SMC) for a class of uncertain linear systems via an event-triggered approach. By introducing an event-triggered mechanism, the event-triggered state instead of the state itself is quantized. And the generated finite event-triggered quantized state signal is sent through a digital network to the decoder and used for constructing a sliding mode controller to stabilize the uncertain linear systems. The relation among the lower bound of the quantized measurement saturating parameter, the upper bound of the event-triggered threshold parameter and the robust stabilization condition of linear uncertain systems, is first presented. Then, under the relation and by the combination of the proposed event-triggered mechanism for the system state and the discrete on-line adjustment policy for the quantizer sensitivity, the established quantized and event-triggered SMC laws are shown to ensure the reachability of the desired switching surface and global robust stabilization of uncertain linear systems is achieved. The theoretical result is verified via simulation illustration finally.
