Abstract

In this paper, the observer-based \(H_{\infty }\)-consensus control problem is studied for multi-agent systems (MASs) under the weighted try-once-discard (WTOD) communication protocol. The WTOD protocol is implemented in the channel from observer to controller to schedule the data transmissions among the agents. Under such a protocol, for one agent, only one neighboring agent’s information is received at each time instant. First, the state observers are designed based on the measurement outputs to estimate the states of the agents. Then, consensus controllers are designed based on the estimates from the observers. The sufficient condition is obtained such that the \(H_{\infty }\)-consensus performance index is guaranteed. The parameters of the observers and the controllers are then calculated from certain matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the method proposed in this paper.
