Abstract
A popular design framework for networked control systems (NCSs) is the emulation-based approach combined with hybrid systems analysis techniques. In the rich literature regarding this framework, bounds on the maximally allowable transmission interval (MATI) are provided to guarantee stability properties of the NCS, while the minimal allowable transmission interval (MIATI) is always taken to be (essentially) zero. In this letter, we show for the first time how knowledge of the MIATI can also be exploited in the hybrid systems/emulation-based framework leading to (guaranteed) higher values for the MATI, while still obtaining stability of the NCS.
