Self-triggered Stabilization of Discrete-time Linear Systems with Quantized State Measurements (2103.15362v3)

Abstract: We study the self-triggered stabilization of discrete-time linear systems with quantized state measurements. In the networked control system we consider, sensors may be spatially distributed and be connected to a self-triggering mechanism through finite data-rate channels. Each sensor independently encodes its measurements and sends them to the self-triggering mechanism. The self-triggering mechanism integrates quantized measurement data and then computes sampling times. Assuming that the closed-loop system is stable in the absence of quantization and self-triggered sampling, we propose a joint design method of an encoding scheme and a self-triggering mechanism for stabilization. To deal with data inaccuracy due to quantization, the proposed self-triggering mechanism uses not only quantized data but also an upper bound of quantization errors, which is shared with a decoder.
