Abstract: This paper investigates the stabilization problem of a class of nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs). In a general network environment, the nonlinear NCS is modeled as a fuzzy switched system with time-delay by the parallel distributed compensation technique, and such a system consists of a stable subsystem and a possible unstable subsystem. Using the piecewise Lyapunov function approach and the average dwell time method, a sufficient condition of the exponential stability for such a nonlinear NCS is obtained, and the fuzzy controller design method is presented in the linear matrix inequality (LMI) form. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
