This lecture covers the stability analysis of Networked Control Systems (NCSs) under deterministic packet drops, focusing on the estimation of the asymptotic maximal drop rate. The instructor explains the NCS model derivation, the NCS dropout model, and the impact of packet loss and network delay on system stability. The lecture delves into the deterministic dropout model, stability tests, and the application of stability theorems. Examples and plots illustrate the effects of different drop rates on system behavior, highlighting the importance of estimating the maximal admissible packet drop rate for ensuring system stability.
