Recent progress in networked control systems — A survey

For the past decades, networked control systems (NCSs), as an interdisciplinary subject, have been one of the main research highlights and many fruitful results from different aspects have been achieved. With these growing research trends, it is significant to consolidate the latest knowledge and information to keep up with the research needs. In this paper, the results of different aspects of NCSs, such as quantization, estimation, fault detection and networked predictive control, are summarized. In addition, with the development of cloud technique, cloud control systems are proposed for the further development of NCSs.
