“…Owning to the advantages of the NCSs over the traditional real-time control systems in information processing and decision-making, control and optimization of NCSs are rapidly developed and broadly applied [7,9,17,18,19,34]. However, system performance could be deteriorated, even leading to instability of the control plants, due to the limitations of the channel bandwidth [13,30], channel capacity [4,12,30], delays [37,28], quantization [1,28], congestions [11] and packet loss [5,23,27] and fault [36] in the communication channels of NCSs. Therefore, the analysis and design of NCSs are difficult and challenging.…”
