Robust Stabilization of Uncertain Networked Control Systems with Data Packet Dropouts

The data packet dropouts phenomenon is usually inevitable when information transmit- ted among communication networks.In this paper,the robust stabilization problem for uncertain networked control systems with data packet dropouts is studied.First,an uncertain discrete-time switching system model is presented to describe these networked control systems.The stability equiv- alence is then proved between this switching system and an uncertain impulsive difference system. Moreover,a sufficient condition is obtained for the asymptotical stability of the nonlinear impulsive difference system.From this condition the robust stabilization problem is dealt with for the uncertain impulsive system.Main results are given in linear matrix inequalities.Finally a numerical example is given to illustrate the theoretical results.
