Network-based robust H∞ control of systems with uncertainty

This paper is concerned with the design of robust H∞ controllers for uncertain networked control systems (NCSs) with the effects of both the network-induced delay and data dropout taken into consideration. A new analysis method for H∞ performance of NCSs is provided by introducing some slack matrix variables and employing the information of the lower bound of the network-induced delay. The designed H∞ controller is of memoryless type, which can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples and simulation results are given finally to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
