This paper introduces a novel reformulation of a commonly used data-driven predictive control (DPC) scheme that allows for the application of a modified sphere decoding algorithm, known for its efficiency and prominence in finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) applications.

The paper addresses the gap in extending data-driven predictive control (DPC) to systems with finite control set (FCS) constraints. It introduces an equivalent formulation of the FCS-DPC problem that leverages the concept of implicit predictors, enabling the application of the efficient sphere decoding algorithm (SDA) used in FCS-MPC.
The key highlights and insights are:
- Derivation of an implicit predictor for the FCS-DPC problem, which characterizes the predictive behavior of DPC without being affected by the FCS constraints.
- Reformulation of the FCS-DPC problem by introducing the implicit predictor as an explicit constraint, resulting in an optimization problem that can be solved using the modified SDA.
- Demonstration of the computational efficiency of the SDA-based FCS-DPC approach through simulations of an electrical drive example, comparing it with enumeration-based and mixed-integer quadratic programming (MIQP) methods.
- Discussion of the potential extension of these ideas to nonlinear systems with FCS constraints, which may require further analysis of implicit predictors for different regularizers and modifications commonly used in DPC setups for nonlinear systems.
