An optimized linear scheme for stabilization over multi-user Gaussian networks

Abstract

Abstract-Remote stabilization of linear dynamical systems over Gaussian networks is studied. Two linear time invariant systems (plants) with arbitrary distributed initial states are monitored by two separate sensors. The sensors communicate their measurements to two remotely situated controllers over a Gaussian interference, possibly with the assistance from a relay node. The common goal of the sensors, relay, and controllers is to stabilize the plants in mean-square sense. An optimized linear delay-free sensing and control scheme is proposed and sufficient conditions for mean-square stability are derived. These conditions reveal the relationship between plants' stability and communication channel parameters. It is shown that the proposed linear scheme can significantly outperform the existing estimation based control scheme in multi-user Gaussian networks.
