Robust stability and disturbance attenuation analysis of a class of networked control systems

In this paper, stability and disturbance attenuation issues for a class of networked control systems (NCSs) under uncertain access delay and packet dropout effects are considered. Our aim is to find conditions on the delay and packet dropout rate, under which the system stability and H/sup /spl infin// disturbance attenuation properties are preserved to a desired level. The basic idea in this paper is to formulate such networked control system as a discrete-time switched system. Then the NCSs' stability and performance problems can be reduced to corresponding problems for the switched systems, which have been studied for decades and for which a number of results are available in the literature. The techniques in this paper are based in the discrete-time switched systems and piecewise Lyapunov functions.
