Stability Analysis of Nonlinear Switched Networked Control Systems with Periodical Packet Dropouts

The input-to-state stability problem of a class of nonlinear switched networked control systems subject to time-varying transmission intervals, periodical packet dropouts, and communication constraints is investigated. By adopting the extended input-to-state stability(eISS) protocol and constructing a novel Lyapunov function, the input-to-state stability properties of such systems are discussed. Then, by making use of the small-gain theorem, the maximum allowable transmission interval to guarantee system stability is obtained. A batch reactor is finally considered to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
