Stochastic stabilization of networked control systems with combined stochastic distributed processes.

The stochastic stability problem of networked control systems (NCSs) with random time delays and packet dropouts is investigated in this paper. The mathematical NCS model is developed as a stochastic discrete-time jump system with combined integrated stochastic parameters characterized by two identically independently distributed processes, which accommodate the abrupt variations of network uncertainties within an integrated frame. The effective instant is introduced to establish the relationship between the destabilizing transmission factors and stability of NCSs. The stabilizing state feedback controller gain that depends not only on the delay modes but also on the dropouts modes is obtained in terms of the linear matrix inequalities formulation via the Schur complement theory. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
