Consistent Event-Triggered Methods For Linear Quadratic Control

In this paper, we define two desired consistency properties for event-triggered control: (i) it should result in a better trade-off between average transmission rate and closed-loop performance than traditional periodic control; (ii) it should require no sensor updates (i.e., operate in open loop) in the absence of disturbances. We propose an event-triggered controller for linear systems with full state feedback that guarantees these two properties when performance is measured by an average quadratic cost. Simulation results highlight the efficiency of the proposed solution.
