Asymptotic stability in distributed event-triggered networked control systems with delays

This paper examines event-triggered broadcasting of state information in distributed networked control systems (NCS) with transmission delays. We provide positive bounds on transmission delays for asymptotic stability of NCS. Each agent can compute the bound on the delays in its state transmissions based on its local information. These results are important because they show the existence of strictly positive bounds on transmission delays in NCS, which guarantee asymptotic stability of the systems. Those bounds can be used to schedule data transmissions.
