Packet-Based Predictive Cooperative Control for HOFAMASs Under Random DoS Attacks

This chapter provides a solution to a secure cooperative control problem of the HOFAMASs under random denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, where random data dropouts and disorders in the forward and feedback channels are caused by random DoS attacks. For this problem, a packet-based HOFAS (PB-HOFAS) predictive control is constructed to optimize the cooperative control performance with active compensation of random data dropouts and disorders. In the proposed work, a packet-based compensation scheme is presented to eliminate the negative impacts of random DoS attacks by compensating for random data dropouts and disorders, and an IHOFAS prediction model is established by means of a kind of Diophantine Equation so that the multistep ahead predictions are generated to optimize an objective function in relation to secure cooperative control performance. Further analysis proposes a sufficient condition on the simultaneous consensus and stability of the closed-loop HOFAMASs. Finally, the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed PB-HOFAS predictive control can be illustrated via a formation control experiment for three ABSSs.
