Abstract

Some fundamental properties of observability and controllability are studied for linear discrete-time systems in a bandwidth-limited communication network environment shared by a number of sensors and actuators and a remote controller. The concepts of finite time set-observability and set-controllability are introduced for such systems. Sufficient and necessary conditions on quantisation level for set-observability and set-controllability are derived. Especially, the admissible data rates of the communication network are obtained that are sufficient and necessary for the system to be finite time set-observable or finite time set-controllable. In addition, less conservative sufficient and necessary rates based on quantisation level of system states are given too.
