Abstract

Estimation and control of systems when data is being transmitted across nonideal communication channels has now become an important research topic. While much progress has been made in the area over the last few years, many open problems still remain. This entry summarizes some results available for such systems and points out a few open research directions. Two popular channel models are considered – the analog erasure channel model and the digital noiseless model. Results are presented for both the multichannel and multisensor settings.
