Abstract: This paper is concerned with minimum error entropy filter design for non-linear Networked Control Systems (NCSs) with multiple-packet transmission mechanism. Since the error of the filter in NCSs is generally non-Gaussian, the filter is designed under the information theoretic learning frame. The convergent condition of the proposed filter is established. A simulation example shows that the proposed approach is feasible and effective.

Keywords: networked control systems; filtering; entropy; filter design; nonlinear control; information theoretic learning; simulation; information theory.
