Estimation and Control over Communication Networks Control Engineering

Advances in communication technology have led to large-scale control systems with distribution of control tasks among several processors via communication channels. Classical estimation and control theory via communication channels commonly decoupled the problems of estimation and control from communication issues.

Although this approach simplifies classical models for infinite precision communication, newer engineering systems require a systematic theory that takes into account limitations of the communication channels. This self-contained monograph covers the latest achievements in the area. The presentation offers accessible mathematical models and results for graduates, researchers, lecturers, practitioners, and advanced undergraduates in the fields of electrical, mechanical, control, computer, and communications engineering, as well as applied mathematics and computer science.
