A Control-aware QoS Adaptation Co-design Method for Networked Control Systems

Abstract

The current study proposes a control-aware Quality of Service adaptation co-design method for networked control systems. The novel networked control structure is based on a remotely placed Quality of Service adapter that continuously changes the network parameters using the Next Steps in Signaling protocol suite for end-to-end Quality of Service. The control system's design is developed gradually and the system's stability is assessed by considering the overall system as a switched linear one. Finally, the results are validated on a numerical example.
