Input-to-State Stabilization of Stochastic Markovian Jump Systems Under Communication Constraints: Genetic Algorithm-Based Performance Optimization.

This work investigates the stabilization problem of uncertain stochastic Markovian jump systems (MJSs) under communication constraints. To reduce the bandwidth usage, a discrete-time Markovian chain is employed to implement the stochastic communication protocol (SCP) scheduling of the sensor nodes, by which only one sensor node is chosen to access the network at each transmission instant. Moreover, due to the effect of amplitude attenuation, time delay, and random interference/noise, the transmission may be inevitably subject to the Rice fading phenomenon. All of these constraints make the controller only receive the fading signal from one activated sensor node at each instant. A merge approach is first used to deal with two Markovian chains; meanwhile, a compensator is designed to provide available information for the controller. By a compensator and mode-based sliding-mode controller, the resulting closed-loop system is ensured to be input-to-state stable in probability (ISSiP), and the quasisliding mode is attained. Moreover, an iteration optimizing algorithm is provided to reduce the convergence domain around the sliding surface via searching a desirable sliding gain, which constitutes an effective GA-based sliding-mode control strategy. Finally, the proposed control scheme is verified via the simulation results.
