Design of Real Time Model Predictive Controller for Networked Control Systems Subjected to packet loss

This paper investigates the problem of Network Control System(NCS) in the face of model uncertainties and data packet loss for the purpose of NCS performance improvement. For this purpose, a new MPC structure is presented. The proposed MPC is developed to tackle the inherent uncertainties occurring due to successive packet dropouts with time-varying probabilities. By using Model predictive control theory, it has been shown how closed loop stability can be ensured directly in the design. The couple of tank system has been utilized as a benchmark case study to study and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method
