Networked Predictive Fuzzy Control of Systems with Forward Channel Delays based on a Linear Model Predictor

This paper presents a novel networked control framework, using fuzzylogic control, for systems with network delays which are known togreatly weaken the control performance of the controlled system. Todeal with the network delays, the predicted differences between thedesired future set-points and the predicted outputs from a modelpredictor are utilized as the inputs of a fuzzy controller, thus aseries of future control actions are generated. By selecting theappropriated control sequence in the plant side, the network delaysare compensated. The simulative results demonstrate that theproposed method can obviously reduce the effect of network delays,and improve the system dynamic performance
