This paper introduces a new definition of stochastic protocols for networked control systems (NCS) and the stochastic analogue of the notion of uniform persistency of excitation of protocols first presented in [1]. Our framework applies directly to common wireless and wireline NCS, including those built on collision-sense multiple access (CSMA) style protocols, with Ethernet and 802.11a/b/g as ...

The authors investigate a class of observer-based discrete-time networked control systems (NCSs) with multiple-packet transmission where random packet dropouts occur independently in both the sensor-to-controller (S/C) and controller-to-actuator (C/A) channels. The authors first propose and prove the separation principle for the NCSs where packet dropouts in the C/A and S/C channels are governe...

In this article, we investigate a novel anytime control algorithm for wireless networked with random dropouts. The controller computes sequences of tentative future commands using time-varying (Markovian) computational resources. sensor–controller and controller–actuator channel states are spatial- time-correlated, respectively, modeled as multistate Markov process. To compensate the effect pac...

This paper is concerned with the issues of observer-based consensus control for a class of networked multi-agent systems with time-varying delays and random packet-dropouts. The distributed multi-agent system whose consensus control protocol is accomplished through a communication network, via which each agent can be remotely controlled, is referred to as networked multi-agent systems (NMAS). F...
