Query: A Passivity-Based Design for Stability and Robustness in Event-Triggered
  Networked Control Systems with Communication Delays, Signal Quantizations and
  Packet Dropouts   In this report, we introduce a comprehensive design framework for
Event-Triggered Networked Control Systems based on the passivity-based concept
of Input Feed-Forward Output Feedback Passive (IF-OFP) systems. Our approach is
comprehensive in the sense that we show finite-gain $L_2$-stability and
robustness for the networked control system by considering the effects of
time-varying or constant network induced delays, signal quantizations, and data
losses in communication links from the plant to controller and the controller
to plant. Our design is based on the need for a more efficient utilization of
band-limited shared communication networks which is a necessity for the design
of Large-Scale Cyber-Physical systems. To achieve this, we introduce simple
triggering conditions that do not require the exact knowledge of the
sub-systems and are located on both sides of the communication network: the
plant's output and the controller's output. This specifically leads to a great
decrease in the communication rate between the controller and plant.
Additionally, we show lower-bounds on inter-event time intervals for the
triggering conditions and show the design's robustness against external noise
and disturbance. We illustrate the relationship amongst stability, robustness
and passivity levels for the plant and controller. We analyze our design's
robustness against packet dropouts and loss of communication. Our results are
design-oriented in the sense that based on our proposed framework, the designer
can easily observe the trade-offs amongst different components of the networked
control system, time-varying delays, effects of signal quantizations and
triggering conditions, stability, robustness and performance of networked
control system and make design decisions accordingly.
