Networked predictive control and its simple application into a class of bilinear systems

Abstract

With the rapid development of control, communication, and micro-electronics technology, networked control systems (NCSs) has attracted considerable attention in the systems and control community. This paper provides the recent research developments of the networked predictive control systems. According to network locations and controlled plants complexity, two different predictive control structures are given: one is for a networked one-agent system, and the other is for a networked multi-agent system. Furthermore, the networked predictive control strategy is applied into networked bilinear systems in a simple way. The simulated examples have been given to illustrate its efficiency.
