Dynamic event-triggered control for CPSs under QoS-based variable sampling approach

In this article, a quality of service (QoS) dependent variable sampling dynamic event-triggered control method is designed for a cyber–physical system (CPS) with delays and packets dropout to cope with non-ideal network environments, maintain the desired control performance and improve the communication efficiency. To achieve the variable period sampling, a sampler is designed based on the QoS of the wireless network by using the delta operator discretization method. Then, a variable period sampling scheme for the delta operator system converted from the CPS is designed. Furthermore, a dynamic event-triggered mechanism (DETM) is proposed using the variable period sampling signal, which can reduce event triggered data calculations and increase event triggered intervals. By utilizing the average dwell time (ADT) approach, sufficient conditions contains the explicit variable sampling period are derived for the derived switched CPS. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed method is verified by numerical examples.
