Anticipative control design for output measurement in Internet-like Networks

This paper presents the analysis and the design of anticipative controllers for packet-based NCS and output measurement. The remote controller uses a model of the plant and a basis controller to compute a sequence of future control actions to compensate the effect of delays and packet dropouts. The proposed solution to address the problem of the output measurement is a mixed solution of the existing approaches in the literature: LTI controllers and filters or observers. The system results to be GUUB when some constraints are imposed to the network delay. The proposed controller has been implemented and tested over a real testbed.
