Abstract
The presence of a communication network in a control loop induces many imperfections such as varying transmission delays, varying sampling/transmission intervals, packet loss, communication constraints and quantization effects, which can degrade the control performance significantly and even lead to instability. Various techniques have been proposed in the literature for stability analysis and controller design for these so-called networked control systems. The aim of this chapter is to survey the main research lines in a comprehensive manner.
