Stability Analysis of Networked Control Systems with Multi-Packet Dropout based on Switched System Approach

Abstract

Networked control system models with packet dropout in multi-packet transmission were established under hypothetical conditions in this paper, and the system was seen as a switched system. The causes of packet dropout in networked control system are analyzed in view of single-packet transmission and multi-packet transmission respectively. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the property of the networked control system with multi-packet dropout was analyzed from the point of view of an asynchronous dynamic system. The method which determined the multi-packet dropout boundary to keep the system steady was given. The simulation results show the influences of multi-packet dropout on the system performance and prove the validity of the analytical method proposed in this paper.
