Stability analysis of large-scale networked control systems with local networks: a hybrid small-gain approach

In this paper we consider large-scale networked control systems (NCSs) with multiple communication networks connecting sensors, controllers and actuators. Using a recently developed small-gain theorem for general interconnections of hybrid systems, we are able to find to find a maximum allowable transmission interval (MATI) and a maximum allowable delay (MAD) for each individual network, such that input-to-state stability of the complete NCS is guaranteed.
