Stability of Networked Control Systems
This lecture covers the stability analysis of Networked Control Systems (NCS) under stochastic packet dropouts, focusing on mean-square stability. The instructor explains the NCS setup, the stochastic dropout model, and the NCS as an average system with stochastic uncertainty. Various theorems and propositions are presented to analyze the mean-square stability of NCS, with examples and simulations illustrating the concepts. The lecture concludes with practical implications, emphasizing the critical impact of packet dropout on NCS stability and the existing stability tests for deterministic and stochastic dropouts.
