Research Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the stabilization
of a linear plant based on output measurements that are subject to dynamic quantization. Moreover, to save communication resources, these measurements are transmitted to the controller using an output-based event-triggering condition. The proposed event-triggering mechanism and the dynamic quantization
strategy ensure an input-to-state stability (ISS) property of a set around the origin with respect to the external disturbances. The existence of a strictly positive lower bound is ensured on both the inter-transmission times and the inter-zoom times in order to prevent the occurrence of Zeno behaviour. The chattering between zoom-in and zoom-out actions is avoided,
and the zoom variable of the dynamic quantizer is guaranteed to be bounded. We characterize the inherent tradeoff between transmissions and quantization in terms of design parameters that can be tuned by the user. The effectiveness of the approach is illustrated on a numerical example.
