Special issue on performance analysis and synthesis of networked systems under coding-decoding communication mechanisms

Over the last decade, networked systems have been undergoing quick developments due mainly to their distinct merits in easy installation, maintenance convenience, and reliability assurance. Many notable approaches focusing on network-induced phenomena have been developed to carry out performance analysis and design of controller or filter parameters. Moreover, various filtering and control strategies have been successfully applied in real-world factories. It should be mentioned that almost all existing results have been developed with the aid of the assumption that the signals can be directly transmitted in an analog manner with infinite precision. Such an assumption is, however, sometimes too stringent. On one hand, the signals are usually digitized before being sent into a networked environment.On the other hand, data with finite bits are allowed to be transmitted at a certain time, and also should be governed by various communication protocols because the bandwidth of communication networks is inherently limited. Thus, coding-based or scheduling-based communication mechanisms seem especially effective at saving resources and achieving digital transmission. Due to the existence of decoding errors and the gap between adjacent two transmissions, it is fairly difficult to use imperfect information received by controllers and filters to achieve the desired purpose. Therefore, there is a clear need for innovative performance analysis and parameter design approaches to adequately realize the desired system performance and resource utilization efficiency of networked systems under coding-decoding communication mechanisms.
