11.1 Introduction

In CPSs, the measurements and control signals are exchanged through a capacity-limited communication network. Due to the limited network capacity or limited transmission data rate, the communication network may have considerable influences on the performances of the closed-loop systems. Generally, there are two possible ways to alleviate such influences on the control performance, one is to develop event-triggered strategies to reduce the communication frequency over the communication network, and the other is to employ signal quantization schemes to convert the real-valued signal into piecewise constant signal with ...
