Abstract:

In this presentation, we talk about a few networked control systems with bit rate constraints. Some background knowledge is first introduced on limited bandwidth and constrained bit rate from the perspectives of concepts, applications and challenges. Then, some detailed discussions are given on the coding-decoding schemes that complicate the controller/filter design problems. Various performance requirements are justified and the corresponding methodologies are summarized. Challenges and progresses are discussed. Finally, we conclude our main contributions and some future directions.
