In this paper we analyze model-based networked control systems for a discrete-time nonlinear plant model, operating in the presence of stochastic dropout of state observations. The dropout is modelled as a Markov chain, and sufficient conditions for stability are provided using the stochastic version of Lyapunov's second method.
