Sampled-data control of nonlinear networked systems with time-delay and quantization

In this paper, the stabilization problem of a class of nonlinear networked systems with time-delay and quantization through sampled-data control is investigated. With sampled-data control, sufficient conditions to guarantee the trivial solution of the nonlinear networked system to be asymptotically stable without any quantization or with uniform quantization are derived. Finally, an example of a continuous-time nonlinear system controlled through a digital controller and a communication channel is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methods.
