The technical note is concerned with the stabilization problem of networked control systems. A general framework is proposed firstly, where the zero-order hold has the logical capability of choosing the newest control input packet. The continuous-time process is discretized as a system with input delays. Then a sufficient condition for testing the stability of the discretized system and two sufficient conditions for designing a stabilizing controller are established based upon the Lyapunov theory. Finally numerical examples and simulations are used to illustrate the developed theory.
