Packet-loss dependent controller design for networked control systems via switched system approach

The stabilization problem of networked control systems with bounded packet loss is addressed. We model such networked control systems as a class of switched systems, and present sufficient conditions for the stabilization by using a packet-loss dependent Lyapunov function. Moreover, different from existing results, we propose the design for packet-loss dependent stabilizing controllers for two types of packet-loss processes: one is a arbitrary packet-loss process, and the other is a Markovian packet-loss process. Several numerical examples and simulations are worked out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design technique.
