Learning-Based Model-Free Adaptive Control for Nonlinear Discrete-Time Networked Control Systems Under Hybrid Cyber Attacks
Fanghui Li, Zhongsheng Hou
Abstract
A novel learning-based model-free adaptive control (LMFAC) approach is presented in this article for a class of unknown nonaffine nonlinear discrete-time networked control systems (NCSs) subject to hybrid cyber attacks. The aperiodic denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and persistent deception attacks are assumed to arise in feedback channels, which could result in the absence or authenticity lackness of system signals sent to the controller. With the aid of dynamic linearizaton technology, the equivalent dynamic linearized data models of considered NCSs are first established only based on I/O information instead of the knowledge of mathematical models that are commonly used under the model-based control framework. Then, an LMFAC scheme is designed on the basis of occurred maximum DoS attacks interval to adaptively tune the attenuation coefficient of the input signal for improving system performance during the next DoS attacks interval. Finally, the boundedness of tracking error is rigorously proved through the contraction mapping principle and the effectiveness of the proposed pure data-driven LMFAC method is demonstrated via simulations.
