Abstract We investigate a scheme for event-based communication in distributed model predictive control (DMPC) of dynamically coupled linear discrete-time systems. In DMPC, a key issue is to determine how and when to communicate information between local controllers. Instead of considering a given and static communication scheme, we propose an approach to balance communication load and performance. First-order sensitivities of the local MPC solutions with respect to communicated information are used to decide whether communication between controllers may lead to improved performance.
