Stability analysis for linear networked predictive control based on average dwell time method

Abstract

This paper explores stability properties of networked control systems with time-varying, but bounded delays that are introduced by network and/or consecutive packet dropouts. By using network predictive control, the networked control system can be converted into a switched system with stable and unstable subsystems. Then based on average dwell time technique, the stability of networked predictive control system can be guaranteed under some mild conditions.
