Networked Predictive Control of Systems with Random Network Transmission Delay – a Polynomial Approach
Abstract
The paper considers the design of networked control systems with random network transmission delay and addresses their closed-loop stability. A novel control strategy is proposed to deal with the random network delay, which is termed as networked predictive control. The key parts of the networked predictive control are the control prediction generator that provides a set of future control predictions and the network delay compensator that removes the network transmission delay. The analytical stability criteria of the closed-loop networked predictive control systems are derived for both fixed and random networked transmission delays.
