Sliding Mode Control for Nonlinear Markovian Jump Systems Under Denial-of-Service Attacks

This paper investigates the sliding mode control(SMC) problem for a class of discrete-time nonlinear networked Markovian jump systems(MJSs) in the presence of probabilistic denial-of-service(Do S) attacks. The communication network via which the data is propagated is unsafe and the malicious adversary can attack the system during state feedback. By considering random Denial-of-Service attacks, a new sliding mode variable is designed, which takes into account the distribution information of the probabilistic attacks. Then, by resorting to Lyapunov theory and stochastic analysis methods, sufficient conditions are established for the existence of the desired sliding mode controller, guaranteeing both reachability of the designed sliding surface and stability of the resulting sliding motion.Finally, a simulation example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed sliding mode control algorithm.

Vehicular Beacon Broadcast Scheduling Based on Age of Information(AoI)

Vehicular beaconing plays an important role to facilitate various applications in the paradigm of Internet of Vehicles(IoV). Due to high dynamic and resource limitation in IoV, how to schedule the vehicular beacon broadcast is challenging, especially in dense scenarios. In this paper, we investigate the beacon broadcast scheduling problem considering the Age of Information(AoI). We first propose an algorithm minimizing the expected sum of AoI considering the limited communication resource and vehicle mobility. Then the performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed. With the proposed algorithm, the optimal solution can be obtained under certain conditions. Extensive simulations are conducted to verify the efficiency, effectiveness and fairness of the proposed solution.

Passive tracking from the combined set of bearings and frequency measurements by single satellite

In this paper, a new passive modified iterated extended Kalman filter （MIEKF） using the combined set of beatings and frequency measurements in Earth Centered Inertial （ECI） coordinate is proposed. A new measurement update equation of MIEKF is derived by modifying the objective function of the Gauss-Newton iteration. A new gain equation and iteration termination criteria are acquired by applying the property of the maximum likelihood estimate. The approximated second order linearized state propagation equation, Jacobian matrix of state transfer and measurement equations are derived in satellite two-body movement. The tracking performances of MIEKF, iterated extended Kalman filter （IEKF） and extended Kalman filter （EKF） are compared via Monte Carlo simulations through simulated data from STK8.1. Simulation results indicate that the proposed MIEKF is possible to passively track low earth circular orbit satellite by a high earth orbit satellite, and has higher tracking precision than the IEKF and EKF.
