“…The multi‐rate systems (MRSs) are often encountered in civilian, military and industrial areas because different electronic components have different physical properties, and that is particularly suitable for SNs which consist of a large number of sensor nodes. As such, the studies on SNs with multi‐rate sampling schemes have stirred rapidly increasing research interests
23–25 . The earliest research on MRSs is attributed to the work of Kranc,
26 where the
‐transform method that solves the simultaneous algebraic equations to transform the data sampling system into a same‐rate sampling system has been proposed, and the stability and performance analysis theory of single‐rate systems has been utilized.…”
