Peak-to-peak secure tracking control for distributed networked control systems under TOD protocol and deception attacks

This paper investigates the peak-to-peak secure tracking control problem for a class of discrete-time distributed networked control systems using the try-once-discard (TOD) protocol under the influence of deception attacks. Measured signals are transmitted through a communication channel regulated by the TOD protocol, which is vulnerable to randomly occurring deception attacks. The probability of deception attacks is characterized by a Bernoulli binomial distribution. The primary objective is to design a mode-dependent controller that ensures the resulting system's stability while satisfying the prescribed peak-to-peak performance. Sufficient conditions for the proposed controller are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, simulation examples are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed peak-to-peak secure tracking control design method.
