This article considers the control of linear time-invariant systems over a time-slotted communication network, which supports infrequent deterministic transmission slots and additional opportunistic transmission slots that can only be used if the network traffic satisfies a desired traffic specification. For two scenarios, controllers as well as combined time-based and event-based triggering mechanisms are designed such that three goals can be jointly achieved. The first goal is to guarantee asymptotic stability by using the deterministic slots, independent of any knowledge about the use of opportunistic transmissions. Second, the triggering mechanisms are designed such that the opportunistic transmissions satisfy a given token bucket traffic specification. As a third goal, the opportunistic transmission decisions should be dependent on the possible performance improvement attributed to the transmitted message. This property is formalized in the newly defined concept of performance-oriented triggering. The two derived controllers and triggering mechanisms are demonstrated using a numerical example.

时隙网络控制的控制器和触发机制协同设计

本文考虑了在时隙通信网络上对线性时不变系统的控制，该系统支持偶发的确定性传输时隙和其他机会性传输时隙，只有在网络流量满足所需流量规格时才能使用。对于两种情况，设计了控制器以及基于时间和基于事件的组合触发机制，从而可以共同实现三个目标。第一个目标是通过使用确定性时隙来保证渐近稳定性，而与使用机会传输的任何知识无关。其次，设计触发机制，以使机会传输满足给定令牌桶流量规范。作为第三个目标，机会传输决策应取决于归因于传输消息的可能的性能改进。该属性在面向性能的触发的新定义概念中正式化。使用数值示例演示了两个派生的控制器和触发机制。
