End-to-end delay measurement has been an essential element in the deployment of real-time services in networked systems. Traditional methods of delay measurement based on time domain analysis, however, are not efficient as the network scale and the complexity increase. We propose a novel theoretical framework to analyze the end-to-end delay distributions of networked systems from the frequency domain. We use a signal flow graph to model the delay distribution of a networked system and prove that the end-to-end delay distribution is indeed the inverse Laplace transform of the transfer function of the signal flow graph. ~vo efficient methods, Cramer's rule-based method and the Mason gain rule-based method, are adopted to obtain the transfer function. By analyzing the time responses of the transfer function, we obtain the end-to-end delay distribution. Based on our framework, we propose an efficient method using the dominant poles of the transfer function to work out the bottleneck links of the network. Moreover, we use the framework to study the network protocol performance. Theoretical analysis and extensive evaluations show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The paper discusses different abstract state-space representations for a class of linear distributed parameter systems of hyperbolic type defined on a one-dimensional spatial domain. It starts with the homogeneous state equation including the unbounded formal state operator. Based on the semigroup approach, some theoretical results of well-posedness and internal stability for the considered systems are given here. Next, the boundary and observation operators are introduced, taking a typical boundary inputs configuration as well as pointwise observations of the state variables. Consequently, the homogeneous state equation is extended to the so-called boundary control state/signal form. Finally, the most classical state-space representation involving typical (A, B, C)-triple of state, input and output operators is considered together with the definition of the Pritchard-Salamon class of infinite-dimensional systems.

Although setpoint tracking problems are common in practice, they are still widely unexplored in the event-triggered control framework. Therefore, an event-triggered PI control design strategy with guaranteed performance for networked control systems is proposed in this paper. The integral state of the proposed PI controller is updated at every sampling instant. The update is done by the proposed event generator and sent with new measurements to the PI controller when necessary. Based on a discretized system model and a quadratic cost function, the event-triggered PI control design problem is introduced and formulated as an LMI optimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is then experimentally evaluated and compared with other existing strategies in the literature for a case study.

In this paper a stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) scheme for linear systems with additive disturbance is presented. The goal is to design a controller that minimizes the expected value of an objective function while guaranteeing mean-square exponential input-tostate stability (MSE-ISS) and constraints on the states and inputs. The SMPC is partitioned into an offline computation based on a bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) problem for ensuring ISS, constraint satisfaction, and recursive feasibility and an online optimization based on a quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) problem for including knowledge about the additive disturbance while relaxing ISS to MSE-ISS. The partition into an offliine computation and online optimization allows addressing stability, feasibility, and performance separately and therefore improving performance as well as handling disturbances which may not be independent identically distributed (i.i.d.). The effectiveness of the SMPC scheme is evaluated by simulations and assessed by comparison with a robust MPC scheme.

The paper proposes a method for the improvement of the LPV (Linear Parameter-Varying) based control design for lateral vehicle dynamics. The novelty of the method is the combination of the LPV-based control design and the results of the analysis based on the Sum-of-Squares-based (SOS) polynomial controlled invariant set. In the LPV modeling of the lateral vehicle dynamics, the control design and the analysis of the polynomial model of the tire characteristics are also handled. The results of the analysis based on controlled invariant set are integrated in the selection of the design parameters of the LPV method. The proposed method improves performances of vehicle dynamics and handles the critical maneuvers caused by e.g. skidding car and high velocities. The proposed method is illustrated through a simulation example.

This paper addresses control and scheduling code-sign problem for multiple control loops sharing a common communication and computation medium, known also as networked embedded control system (NECS) in literature. Besides the limited communication medium, physical limitations on control inputs and/or states are considered as well. To avoid unnecessary use of the limited communication medium, each control loop is equipped with a model-based event generator requesting a network access only if a necessity exists and thus minimizing the traffic load on the network. The NECS with uncertain but interval-bounded time-varying communication and computation delays is modeled as a discrete-time switched poly-topic system. Based on the resulting model and the proposed model-based event generators, the codesign problem is then introduced and formulated as an LMI optimization problem which can be solved completely offline. The effectiveness of the codesign strategy is evaluated for networked control of an active suspension system. Noteworthy, the proposed strategy is generally applicable to discrete-time switched polytopic systems.

The main effects of atmospheric turbulence on the laser beams propagation are scintillation, beam wandering, and phase front distortion. The first two can be compensated simply by using aperture averaging, whereas the later, which is of high importance in high data rates free space optics communications, is much more complex. This paper gives a review of principal analytical methods used to simulate and characterize the optical beam propagation through the turbulence channel focussing on phase front distortion. The paper presents simple models suitable for computer simulations of beam wandering and scintillation. This is followed by more complex theoretical approaches in analysing the turbulence induced phase front distortion and the calculation of the mutual coherence function of partially coherent beams propagating through an inhomogeneous medium. The theoretical analysis of beam coherence and phase front distortion due to turbulence represents the first step for elaboration of the mitigation methods.
