This paper is concerned with the input-to-state stabilizing control problem for cyber-physical systems (CPSs) with multiple transmission channels under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Under the data update policy with bounded update interval, a new control scheme that discards the outdated information is proposed, and the stability analysis of CPSs under DoS attacks is transformed into analyzing the stability of the system under a switched controller with the help of a class of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Then, inspired by the techniques for switched systems, sufficient conditions on the duration and frequency of the DoS attacks, under which the stability of the closed-loop systems is still guaranteed, are proposed. Compared with the existing method for the single-channel case, the considered multiple-channel case is more challenging, and the proposed LMI-based method is more flexible.
