Abstract :
This technical note studies the linear quadratic (LQ) performance of networked control systems where control packets are subject to loss. In particular we explore the two simplest compensation strategies commonly found in the literature: the zero-input strategy, in which the input to the plant is set to zero if a packet is dropped, and the hold-input strategy, in which the previous control input is used if packet is lost. We derive expressions for computing the optimal static gain for both strategies and we compare their performance on some numerical examples. Interestingly, none of the two can be claimed superior to the other, even for simple scalar systems, since there are scenarios where one strategy performs better then the other and scenarios where the converse occurs.
