Event-Triggered Communication and Annular Finite-Time H∞ Filtering for Networked Switched Systems

Event-triggered communication mechanism (ETCM) provides an efficient way to reduce unwanted network traffic. This article studies the co-design of an ETCM and an annular finite-time (AFT) H ∞ filter for networked switched systems (NSSs). First, the AFT definition and ETCM are presented. Second, a set of mode-dependent average dwell-time (MADT) switching rules is given. By resorting to a delay-dependent Lyapunov functional approach, some feasible AFT H ∞ filters are designed. Third, it is proved that the filtering error system (FES) has a good performance in attenuating the external disturbances. Finally, the feasibility of the developed method is verified via simulation.
