Event-triggered fuzzy filtering in networked control system for a class of non-linear system with time delays

This paper focuses on the design of H ∞ filter and event-triggered scheme for a class of continuous non-linear networked control systems (NCSs) based on fuzzy system appeared with time delays. First, we consider the discrete event-triggered (ET) scheme to make efficient utilisation of bandwidth. Under this ET-scheme, sensor releases the data only when our sampled-data plant violates the specific event-triggered condition. Second, the T-S fuzzy system is used to model the non-linear NCSs. Another purpose of this paper is to design filters involving delays. Such filters have a more general form than the delay-free filters that have been mostly considered in the traditional studies. By using the time-delay system, co-design of event-triggered scheme and H ∞ filter for the delayed NCSs is presented in a unified frame work. To choose the latest data packet and discard the dis-ordered packet logic, zero-order hold is inserted between the fuzzy filter and event generator. Then, by using the novel fuzzy Lyapunov–Krasovskii function approach with free-weighting matrix technique, H ∞ filter design of event-triggered delay NCSs is proposed. Finally, to show the effective result of our co-design method, a tunnel-diode example is given.
