Network-based feedback control for systems with mixed delays based on quantization and dropout compensation

This paper deals with the problem of feedback control for networked systems with discrete and distributed delays subject to quantization and packet dropout. Both a state feedback controller and an observer-based output feedback controller are designed. The infinite distributed delay is introduced in the discrete networked domain for the first time. Also, it is assumed that system state or output signal is quantized before being communicated. Moreover, a compensation scheme is proposed to deal with the effect of random packet dropout through communication network. Sufficient conditions for the existence of an admissible controller are established to ensure the asymptotical stability of the resulting closed-loop system. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed design method in this paper.
