A predictive control-based approach is proposed to networked control systems. In this
approach, an improved predictive controller is designed using delayed sensing data and a
compensation scheme is proposed to overcome the negative effects of the network-induced
delays and data packet dropouts in both the forward and backward channels. The proposed
approach is easy to be implemented in practice compared with previous results in that only
delayed data of the control inputs are used to derive the forward control predictions. The …

This paper considers model predictive control (MPC) for the linear discrete-time systems in
the presence of packet loss, quantization and actuator saturation. Compared with the
previous work ([45]), this paper presents an improved networked MPC approach for
networked control systems (NCSs) by applying the quantization dependent Lyapunov
function (QDLF) method which leads to less conservative results. The additional
improvement is made by placing the heavier weighting on the system corresponding to the …
