Output‐based resilient event‐triggered control for networked control systems under denial of service attacks

Abstract

This study is concerned with the output‐based resilient event‐triggered control for networked control systems (NCSs) subject to denial of service (DoS) attacks, where ‘resilient’ is interpreted as that the NCSs can tolerate a larger time delay with a certain degree of performance degradation when there are DoS attacks. Otherwise, the NCSs run with performance. In order to characterise DoS attacks, an additional positive term which implies the effects of DoS attacks is imposed on the pre‐designed triggering condition. By considering the fact that only partial output measurements can be obtained, the output‐based security performance analysis as well as an output feedback controller design under the proposed event‐triggered strategy is conducted with Lyapunov–Krasovskii method and linear matrix inequalities technique. At last, the simulation results show that the designed controller is resilient to DoS attacks with less dependent on the transmission packets while sacrificing some control performance.
