Quantized robust ℋ∞control of discrete-time systems with random communication delays

The article considers stability and robust ℋ∞ controller design of discrete-time systems with random communication delays and state quantization. A finite state Markov process is used to model communication delays between sensors and controllers. Measurements are assumed to be quantized by a logarithmic quantizer, and the effect of quantization errors are incorporated into the controller design. Based on a Lyapunov–Krasovskii approach, novel methodologies for analysing stability and designing a time-delay mode-dependent quantized state feedback controller are proposed. The controller is obtained through solving bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs) using the cone complementarity linearisation algorithm.
