Stabilization and Data-Rate Condition for Stability of Networked Control Systems With Denial-of-Service Attacks.

This article investigates the stabilization control and stabilizing data-rate condition problems for networked control systems, which transmit signals from the sensor to the controller over the communication network with denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Considering a class of DoS attacks that only constrain its frequency and duration, we aim to explore the constraint condition for stabilization and minimum stabilizing data rate of the networked control systems. The framework consists of two main parts. The first part considers the stabilizing control by the state-feedback approach under ideal bandwidth capacity. While the second part characterizes the average stabilizing data rate in terms of the eigenvalues of system matrix and DoS constraint functions to explicitly reveal the relationship between the attacks and the network bandwidth capacity. The stabilizing result is novel in the sense that the DoS-attack intensity, which is characterized by its frequency and duration, can vary for different time intervals. With this feature, the minimum average data-rate condition can vary for different time intervals according to the intensity of DoS attacks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
