Following earlier results in (Alessio and Bemporad, 2007 and 2008), the global model of the process is approximated as the decomposition of several (possibly overlapping) smaller models used for local predictions. We present sufficient criteria for asymptotic tracking of output set-points and rejection of constant measured disturbances when the overall process is in closed loop with the set of decentralized MPC controllers, under possible intermittent lack of communication of measurement data between controllers. The effectiveness of the approach is shown in a simulation example on distributed temperature control in the passenger area of a railcar. date: 2009 publication: Estimation and Control of Networked Systems publisher: IFAC place_of_pub: 24th Sep. - 26th Sep. 2009 pagerange: 204-209 event_title: 1st IFAC Workshop on Estimation and Control of Networked Systems event_location: 24th Sep. - 26th Sep. 2009 event_dates: Venezia, Italia id_number: 10.3182/20090924-3-IT-4005.00035 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-902661-52-4 book_title: Estimation and Control of Networked Systems official_url: http://www.ifac-papersonline.net/Detailed/40552.html citation: Barcelli, Davide and Bemporad, Alberto Decentralized model predictive control of dynamically-coupled linear systems: tracking under packet loss.
