Networked stabilization for multi-input systems over quantized fading channels

This paper studies feedback stabilization for networked control systems (NCSs) over quantized fading channels placed at the plant input, which cover both logarithmic quantization and packet drop in the actuator channel. The notion of mean-square (MS) stability is developed in the input–output setting, and the MS stabilizability is studied for both single-input (SI) and multi-input (MI) systems under state feedback. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for the MS stabilizability of the NCS over the quantized fading channel by using channel resource allocation.
