Observer-Based Control Design for Nonlinear Networked Control Systems with Limited Information by Yilin Wang, Zhengrong Xiang, Hamid Reza Karimi

“…An improved networked control system model is proposed and the effects of random packet dropout, time-varying delay, and quantization are considered simultaneously. Based on the obtained model, a stability criterion is developed by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and sufficient conditions for the existence of a dynamic quantized output feedback controller which are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) such that the augmented error system is stochastically stable with an performance level. …”
