Some problems in the stability of networked-control systems with periodic scheduling
This article addresses three stability problems related to networked-control systems (NCSs) with periodic scheduling, where control systems may have multiple samplings in a hyperperiod ( a hyperperiod is a periodically repeated scheduling sequence for all tasks in an NCS). As expected, the analysis of a system with multiple samplings is much richer than the case with single sampling. For example, a system with two samplings may be stable ( unstable) even if it is unstable ( stable) when sampled by either sampling. In this context, it is important to understand how network-induced delays and multiple samplings affect the system's stability. In this article, three particular stability problems involving constant and/or time-varying parameters are investigated, and the corresponding stability regions are derived. Numerical examples and various discussions complete the presentation.
