In this paper, we investigate the synchronization for heterogeneous network subject to event-triggering communication. The designed controller for each node includes reference generator (RG) and regulator. The predicted value of relative information between intermittent communication can significantly reduce the transmitted information. Based on the event triggering strategy and time-dependent threshold, all RGs can exponentially track the target trajectory. Then by the action of regulator, each node synchronizes with its RG. Meanwhile, a positive lower bound is obtained for the interevent intervals. Numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed event triggering strategy.
