Abstract
We propose a communication/control co-design paradigm to study networked control systems. The essence of this new paradigm is to allow the communication network to be jointly designed with the controller design. In this talk, two different communication/control co-design approaches would be discussed, i.e., the channel/controller co-design and coding/control co-design. In the channel/controller co-design, we find the minimum total channel capacity required for stabilizability given in terms of the topological entropy of the plant. In the coding/control co-design, the MIMO technology recently advanced in communication theory has been utilized for information exchange. A necessary and sufficient condition for the networked stabilizability is obtained given in terms of a majorization relation.
