This paper investigates observer-based model predictive control (MPC) for switched systems with a mixed time/event-triggering mechanism. The problem of predictive control that can achieve receding horizon optimization is considered and solved by minimizing an upper bound of the quadratic cost function. Since the system state may not be fully measured in practice, state observers are employed to estimate. A mixed mechanism including adaptive event-triggering and time-triggering is proposed, which can be switched determined by a threshold describing system performance to better balance system resource utilization and performance requirements. Then, a closed-loop switched system subject to networked-time-delay is modeled. Piecewise Lyapunov function technique and average dwell time approach are utilized to ensure asymptotical stability. Afterwards, MPC controller construction problem is turned into a LMIs feasibility problem. A new solving method of sufficient conditions for co-design of the state observers, feedback controllers and mixed triggering mechanism is derived. Lastly, simulation examples illustrate the correctness and advantages of research content.
