    Abstract

  • Abstract

    The strategy design and closed-loop stability of networked control systems under unbounded denial of service (DoS) attacks are probed. A multi-path switching protection strategy is firstly designed by noticing the usually available multiple paths in data communication networks. The strategy consists of a DoS attack detection module at the actuator side to identify DoS attacks from normal data packet dropouts, and a multi-path switching module at the sensor side to effectively switch the data transmission path when necessary. Then, the sufficient conditions for the closed-loop system being global mean square asymptotic stability are given, with a corresponding controller gain design method. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
