“…Nevertheless, the NCS-related challenging problems arise inevitably that would degrade the system performances. Such network-induced problems include, but are not limited to, the communication delays (also called network-induced time-delays) [3], [7], [10], [22], [23], [30], [35], and packet dropouts (probabilistic information missing, missing measurement) [4], [13], [17], [19], [20], [25]. In most relevant literature, the network-induced time-delays have been commonly assumed to be deterministic, which is fairly unrealistic as, by nature, delays resulting from network transmissions are typically time-varying and random.…”
