## Abstract

This paper proposes an idea of using time-delay partitioning to construct a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) to analyse event-driven network control systems (NCSs) with theH∞ performance. Firstly, select a mixed event-driven mechanism, in which an adjustable absolute trigger mechanism is added to the trigger condition. Trigger term can be indicated to use a delay model. Secondly, a suitable LKF is created, which makes use of time-delay partitioning. Based on Wirtinger inequality and linear matrix inequalities (LMI), the close system with H∞ performance index level is global uniform ultimate bounded. Finally, a numerical simulation example proves the effectiveness of the proposed method.

## 1. Introduction

With the rapid development of computer and networked technologies, data transmission via communication networks has received considerable research attentions [1–10]. Due to the advantages of the NCSs such as data sharing, low cost, and easy maintenance, it has been widely used in the field of process control, electricity system, aircraft control systems, automobile controlling systems, etc. The traditional control system is based on time-driven, but for the NCSs with limited resources, if the control tasks are executed periodically based on fixed time points, this not only wastes limited computing and bandwidth resources but also may cause network-induced phenomena such as network congestion, data transmission delay, and data loss. As a nonuniform scheduling mechanism, event-driven can effectively solve the abovementioned problems, so it has become a hot research topic at present.In event-driven control, only when the system reaches the trigger threshold set in advance can the control instruction be executed or the information be transmitted. Therefore, event-driven control can achieve similar or better control performance and reduce data transmission rate, thus saving the limited network bandwidth, computation, energy, and other resources in the system. As such, fruitful results based on different event-driven schemes are made in [11–20]. The triggering threshold has a great effect on the implementation of control task [11, 12]; however, because the threshold of the static triggering mechanism is fixed, it is difficult to adjust for external interference and environmental changes. In order to overcome the above drawbacks, a dynamic event-triggered scheme has been addressed in [13–15]. Besides that, a H∞ controller is designed in [21], in which Markov jump systems are studied based on event-triggered considering finite time. Rahnama et al. [22] consider the effects of network-induced time delays, signal quantization, and data loss and show L-2-stability and robustness for the control design. Gu et al. [23] consider an adaptive H∞ filter, which is based on event triggered to solve the problem of decentralize in NCSs. Furthermore, in [24], observer-based fuzzy controller is proposed to stabilize the NCSs under event-triggered mechanism in [25]; the stabilization problem for nonlinear NCSs with a two-terminal event-triggered mechanism is concerned. It is worth noting that the LKF method is mainly used in the above research, which will bring certain conservativeness to the conclusion due to the different treatment methods for cross items.In order to reduce the conservativeness of the conclusion, the investigators bring forward two different research directions. One way is to choose a suitable LKF, and the other is to select a better scaling method in the process of dealing with the integral terms. Rich investigative achievements have been achieved by LKF picking [26–30]. In the early years, a simple LKF for fixed-delay systems was adopted. In order to make the LKF contain more system information, fixed time delay and variable delay are added to the system status in LKF [26]. Come up with the opinion of using time-delay partitioning to establish LKF [27]. More explore consequences have been generated in dealing with integral items. Use Jensen inequality to process integral items in event-driven NCSs [31]. Seuret and Gouaisbaut [32] put forward cinequality to deal with the integral terms in the study of NCSs stability, which can introduce additional system integral terms to bring more system information. This method not only includes the information in the Jensen inequality but also adds some integral terms of the state to the system.Motivated by the above discussions, in this paper, we focus on theH∞ performance analysis of network control system based on event trigger mechanism. The main contributions of this paper are summarized as follows. (i) Using mixed trigger mechanism to reduce network burden, that is, an adjustable parameter is added on the basis of the dynamic trigger mechanism, so as to avoid Zeno phenomenon and long-term nonsampling phenomenon. (ii) The LKF is constructed with the idea of time-delay partitioning, and a new method is used to remove the coupling between the input matrix and the output matrix. On this basis, Wirtinger inequality is used to scale down and reduce the conservativeness of the conclusion.

## 2. Problem Formulation

Consider the following kind of linear time invariant system as follows:(1)x˙t=Axt+B1ut+C1ωt,zt=D1xt+B2ut+C2ωt,yt=D2xt,where xt∈ℝm is the state vector,ut∈ℝn is the control input, yt∈ℝp is the control output, zt∈ℝq is the control regulated output, ωt∈L20,∞ is the square integrable disturbance input, A,B1,B2,C1,C2,D1,andD2 are any matrices with adaptive dimensions. The event-triggered communication mechanism can be described by(2)tk+1h=tkh+minllheTikhΦeikh≥δyTtkhΦytkh+ϑt,where ϑt=βε−αt,eikh=yikh−ytkh is the error between the output at the current sampling time ikh=tkh+lhl∈ℕ and the output at the latest triggered time tkh; Φ is a symmetric positive matrix; h is the time sampling period; and δ∈0,0.5 and β∈0,0.5 are given scalar. If δ=0, the system trigger threshold is the absolute trigger mechanism. If β=0, the system trigger threshold is the relative trigger mechanism. If δ>0andβ>0, the system trigger threshold is the mixed trigger mechanism.DivideΩ into subsets Ω1=ikh+dik,ikh+h+dik+1, i.e., Ω=∪Ω1, where ikh=tkh+lh, l=0,…,tk+1−tk−1; ikh and tkh represent the current sampling time and triggering time, respectively. For l=tk+1−tk−1, then dik+1=dtk+1; otherwise, dik=dtk. Define dt≜t−ikh. Note that h1≤dt≤h2, h1=dm, h2=dM, and hm=h1+h2/2. h1 and h2 represent the lower and upper bounds of the time delay (h1<hm<h2):(3)x˙t=Axt+B1KD2xt−dt−B1Keikh+C1ωt,zt=D1xt+B2KD2xt−dt−B2Keikh+C2ωt,ut=Kxtkh,t∈Ω,where ut is the controller law and control gain K.Lemma 1.

Then, we can get the closed-loop system (3) is GUUB when t ⟶ ∞, ω (t) = 0 the system state exponentially converges to the bounded area. At the same time, zt<γωt2 at the zero-initial conditions is obtained.Remark 1.
Compared with [15], this paper has three different characteristics.(1) A mixed event triggering mechanism, in which absolute trigger mechanism is added to the relative to the trigger term. (2) The concept of the time-delay partitions was applied to build a LKF. (3) The external disturbance is added to the original system and H∞ performance index can be obtained. The purpose of the three improved views is to make the system robust.Remark 2.
Another class of method is reducing the conservation of simple LKF. The augmented LKF is established, in which it contains not only the state vector but also the derivative of the state. Meanwhile, the free-weight matrix inequality is raised in the study of integral inequalities. The free-weight matrix inequality adds some freedoms to the system based on the Wirtinger inequality. Constructing a suitable LKF by combining the two methods above, the function can be selected as(40)Vt=ξ1TtPξ1t+∫t−h1tξ2TsH1ξ2sds+∫t−h2tξ2TsH2ξ2sds+∫−h10∫t+stx˙TvR1x˙vdvds+∫−h2−h1∫t+stx˙TvR2x˙vdvds,where(41)ξ1t=xTtxTt−h1xTt−h2∫t−h1txTsds∫t−h2txTsdsξ2t=xTtx˙Tt.


## 4. Simulation

This section provides two numerical simulation examples. The first example shows that the proposed method is effective. The second example shows the dynamic response of the system in the event-driven mode.Example 1.
Given the following parameters,(42)A=−0.2−0.10.2−0.5,B1=11,C1=01,D1=0.31,D2=10,B2=0.1.
Apply Theorem1 with h = 0.01 s, dM = 0.5, and γ = 50. With the change of δ, the corresponding controller gain K and event-driven matrix Φ are listed in Table 1.

δ0.10.20.3K−0.0684−0.0130−0.0114Φ16358.750027.7632Example 2.
Givenδ = 0.1, h1 = 0.01, h2 = 0.15, hm = 0.1, controller gain K = −0.00684, weight matrix Φ = 2921.3, h = 0.01, and γ = 50, according to the above conditions, system (1) is stable in the event-driven mode. x initial conditions are x0=1−1,ωt=0.09∗sin0.2∗t.
Ifδ = 0.1, β = 0 result is shown in following figures. According to the above set parameters in the paper, some simulation results are shown in Figure 1.
From Figure1, we can find that the system actually works under the relative trigger mechanism. When the output error reaches a certain threshold, the system state updates and then presents a periodic update state. The length of update interval will depend on the setting of δ value.
Ifδ = 0, β = 0.3 result is shown in Figure 2.
From Figure2, we can find that the actual operation of the system is under the absolute trigger mechanism, and the trigger threshold is independent of the system state. Depending on the setting of β value, it is obvious that the update time of the system is earlier and the update interval is denser.
Ifδ = 0.1, β = 0.3 result is shown in Figure 3.
From Figure3, we can find that the system actually works under the mixed trigger mechanism. The trigger threshold is related not only to the system state but also to the initially set β value. We can see that the number of system updates is significantly reduced and the update interval is longer.
Through the above simulation, it can be found that different trigger mechanisms can stabilize the system, but the update time of the system state is obviously different. Among them, the hybrid trigger mechanism proposed in this paper has more effective results, which can greatly reduce the network burden and save network bandwidth compared with the other two trigger methods.Figure 1

## 5. Conclusion

This paper has investigated the event-driven problem about NCSs. A mixed event trigger mechanism is introduced, which contains absolute trigger mechanism and relative trigger. The event triggering mechanism can be expressed by a time-delay model. The coupling of the system is reduced by introducing additional parameters and matrices. The sufficient condition can be obtained by LMI. By using the Wirtinger inequality method, relatively event-driven controller can be obtained, which meets anH∞ performance index level of NCSs. Finally, two numerical simulation examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. In networked control systems, besides time delay, packet loss and quantization are also important factors that affect system performance. How to comprehensively consider the above two factors combined with trigger mechanism will be the focus of future work.
