Design of networked control systems with packet dropouts

This note is concerned with stability and controller design of networked control systems (NCSs) with packet dropouts. New NCS models are provided considering both single- and multiple-packet transmissions. Both sensor-to-controller (S/C) and controller-to-actuator (C/A) packet dropouts are modeled and their history behavior is described by different independent Markov chains. In term of the given models, sufficient conditions for stochastic stability are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and corresponding control laws are given. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the results.
