The　phenomenon　of　mixed-mode　is　one　of　the　most　important　characteristics　of　switched　delay　systems.　If　a　networked　control　system　(NCS)　with　network　induced　delays　and　packet　dropouts　(NIDs&PDs)　is　recast　as　a　switched　delay　system,　it　is　imperative　to　consider　the　effects　of　mixed-modes　in　the　stability　analysis　for　an　NCS.　In　this　paper,　with　the　help　of　the　interpolatory　quadrature　formula　and　the　average　dwell　time　method,　stabilization　of　NCSs　using　a　mixed-mode　based　switched　delay　system　method　is　investigated　based　on　a　novel　constructed　Lyapunov-Krasovskii　functional.　With　the　Finsler＇s　lemma,　new　exponential　stabilizability　conditions　with　less　conservativeness　are　given　for　the　NCS.　Finally,　an　illustrative　example　is　provided　to　verify　the　effectiveness　of　the　developed　results.
