Semiglobal Practical Stability of a Class of Parameterized Networked Control Systems

Abstract

This paper studies a class of parameterized networked control systems that are designed via an emulation procedure. In the first step, a controller is designed ignoring network so that semiglobal practical stability is achieved for the closed-loop. In the second step, it is shown that if the same controller is emulated and implemented over a large class of networks, then the networked control system is also semiglobally practically asymptotically stable; in this case, the controller parameter needs to be sufficiently small and communication bandwidth sufficiently high.
