Abstract

This paper studies the optimal output tracking control and stabilization for networked control systems with packet losses via output feedback control. Both finite-horizon and infinite-horizon cases are considered. For the finite-horizon case, the authors introduce an augmented system according to the state variable and the reference trajectory for the first time. Based on a set of difference Riccati equations, an optimal output feedback tracking controller is proposed by applying the stochastic maximum principle. And an optimal estimator is presented. For the infinite-horizon case, a necessary and sufficient condition for the stabilization of the system is provided. And an optimal output feedback stabilizing tracking controller is obtained by establishing a set of algebraic Riccati equations. Finally, numerical examples are given to verify the proposed results.
