This paper is concerned with the stability of networked control systems in the discrete-time domain. A new bounding technique is proposed to estimate some finite-sum terms appearing in the forward difference of the chosen Lyapunov functional. This new bounding technique can provide tighter upper bounds for some finite-sum terms and avoid overly bounding for the finite-sum terms. Then a novel delay-dependent stability criterion is derived by using this new bounding technique. Compared with some existing stability criteria in the published literature, the novel stability criterion is proven theoretically to be less conservative and is shown to be of smaller numerical complexity.
