Abstract

A stability criterion for networked feedback loops with time-varying measurement delays is proposed. It allows to check stability under the presence of different
packetized network transmission policies where, e.g., newer packets may arrive at the same time or before older packets. The criterion is based on the small gain theorem and explicitly takes into account a packet selection and hold mechanism at the receiver side. It can easily be checked in frequency domain and does not involve any computationally expensive optimization algorithms.
