Abstract
This paper focuses on fixed-time event-triggered consensus tracking of high-order MAS over digraph and under DOS attack. The considered DOS attack is divided into connectivity-maintained attack and connectivity-broken attack. To detect connectivity-broken attack under event-triggered environment, a new cyberattack detection algorithm is presented. Next, using cyberattack detection results, a fixed-time event-triggered distributed observer is developed to estimate the leader’s states in the presence of DOS attack, which conducts event-triggered update in the normal condition and under connectivity-maintained attack and stops updating in the presence of connectivity-broken attack. Then, an adaptive event-triggered prescribed-time dynamic surface consensus tracking control protocol is proposed to eliminate mismatched disturbances caused by estimation error and achieve prescribed-time convergence of the tracking error. Stability analysis proves fixed-time convergence of the developed consensus tracking strategy and non-zeno analysis shows the developed distributed observer and consensus tracking control strategy exclude zeno behavior. This paper contributes to proposing a fixed-time leader-follower consensus control strategy for MAS under DOS attack via event-triggered approach, which eliminates the effect of DOS attack, achieves consensus tracking within a fixed time and reduces resources consumption. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness and superiority of the developed consensus tracking approach.
