Timing abstraction of perturbed LTI systems with L₂-based event-triggering mechanism

Abstract

In networked control systems, the advent of event-triggering strategies in the sampling process has resulted in the usage reduction of network capacities, such as communication bandwidth. However, the aperiodic nature of sampling periods generated by event-triggering strategies has hindered the schedulability of such networks. In this study, we propose a framework to construct a timed safety automaton that captures the sampling behavior of perturbed LTI systems with an L₂-based triggering mechanism proposed in the literature. In this framework, the state-space is partitioned into a finite number of convex polyhedral cones, each cone representing a discrete mode in the abstracted automaton. Adopting techniques from stability analysis of retarded systems accompanied with a polytopic embedding of time, LMI conditions to characterize the sampling interval associated with each region are derived. Then, using reachability analysis, the transitions in the abstracted automaton are derived.
