A distributed model predictive control strategy is proposed for a class of switched nonlinear systems with a prescribed switching sequence. The control strategy takes explicitly into account communication disruptions and delayed measurements. Under the assumption that every subsystem exists a stabilizing controller, the distributed model predictive control architecture is designed by using Lyapunov-based model predictive control. Sufficient conditions for guaranteeing ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop switched nonlinear systems are presented. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the distributed model predictive control scheme.
