“…NCSs have received much attention during the past decade; see, for example, Tipsuwan and Chow (2003), Antsaklis and Baillieul (2004), Matveev and Savkin (2005), Antsaklis and Baillieul (2007), Hespanha, Naghshtabrizi, and Xu (2007), Moyne and Tilbury (2007), Schenato, Sinopoli, Franceschetti, Poolla, and Sastry (2007), Zhang and Yu (2007), Ishii (2008) and Yu, Wang, Chu, and Xie (2008) and the references therein. Stability analysis of NCSs is investigated in Walsh, Ye, and Bushnell (1999), Beldiman, Walsh, and Bushnell (2000), Zhang, Branicky, and Phillips (2001), Antsaklis (2003, 2004) and Zhivoglyadov and Middleton (2003), and stabilising controllers are designed in Nilsson, Bernhardsson, and Wittenmark (1998) and Zhang, Shi, Chen, and Huang (2005). In the literature, stochastic approaches are typically adopted to deal with network packet dropout and to establish the stability of the NCS in the sense of mean square statistics (Ji, Chizeck, Feng, and Loparo 1991;Costa and Fragoso 1993;Costa and do Val 1996;Xiao, Hassibi, and How 2000;Seiler and Sengupta 2005;Wu and Chen 2007).…”
