This paper presents the new results on the H ∞ control of a class of completely uncertain nonlinear networked control systems with random communication packet dropouts, which is partially considered in this paper.The uncertainties in the plant are assumed to be real and time-varying, as well as norm, bounded.The random packet losses are modeled as a Bernoulli distributed white sequence with known conditions on their probability distribution.The controller was designed as an observer-based H ∞ dynamic, such that the closed-loop system is exponentially mean square stable and the effect of the disturbance input on the controlled output is less than a minimum level γ for all admissible uncertainties.New sufficient conditions for the existence of such a controller are presented and proved based on the linear matrix inequalities' approach.The theory presented is illustrated by a numerical example to show the effectiveness of the developed techniques.
