This paper is concerned with the design of adaptive event-triggered scheme for networked nonlinear interconnected systems via T-S fuzzy models. The transmission of control signals is based on a novel adaptive event-triggered communication scheme, where the adaptive threshold is dependent on a dynamic error of the system rather than a predetermined constant as the one in the existing results. The amount of the releasing data is regulated with the adaptive threshold that plays a crucial role in decision of whether releasing the sampled data or not. This technique reflects an inherent dynamic balance between the control performance and the utilization of the network resource. A corresponding Lyapunov function is constructed to achieve sufficient conditions of stability and stabilization. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed theoretic results.
