Compressive Sampling for Networked Feedback Control

Abstract: We investigate the use of compressive sampling for networked feedback control systems. The method proposed serves to compress the control vectors which are transmitted through rate-limited channels without much deterioration of control performance. The control vectors are obtained by an L1-L2 optimization, which can be solved very efficiently by FISTA (Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm). Simulation results show that the proposed sparsity-promoting control scheme gives a better control performance than a conventional energy-limiting L2-optimal control.
