Optimal modified performance of MIMO networked control systems with multi-parameter constraints.

ABSTRACT

The optimal modified performance of the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) networked control systems (NCSs) with encoding-decoding, channel noise in the forward channel and packet dropouts, quantization in the feedback channel is investigated in this paper. A new and efficient tracking performance index for the NCSs is presented which prevents variations in the tracking error where there is no integrator in the plant. The optimal modified performance is obtained by the method of coprime factorization and partial fraction. The results demonstrate that the optimal modified performance is related to the locations of the non-minimum phase (NMP) zeros, unstable poles of the given plant as well as their directions. In addition, the modified factor, packet dropouts probability, channel noise and encoding-decoding are also closely related to optimal modified performance of the NCSs. Finally, we present some particular examples to illustrate the theoretical results.
