Security Control for Uncertain Networked Control Systems under DoS Attacks and Fading Channels

Abstract

This paper characterizes the joint effects of plant uncertainty, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, and fading channel on the stabilization problem of networked control systems (NCSs). It is assumed that the controller remotely controls the plant and the control input is transmitted over a fading channel. Meanwhile, considering the sustained attack cycle and frequency of DoS attacks are random, the packet-loss caused by DoS attacks is modelled by a Markov process. The sampled-data NCS is transformed into a stochastic form with Markov jump and uncertain parameter. Then, based on Lyapunov functional method, linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based sufficient conditions are presented to ensure the stability of uncertain NCSs. The main contribution of this article lies in the construction of NCSs based on DoS attacks into Markov jump system (MJS) and the joint consideration of fading channel and plant uncertainty.
