Robust output feedback stabilization of nonlinear networked systems via a finite data-rate communication channel

This paper addresses a robust stabilization problem of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems using output measurements via a finite data-rate communication channel. The authors assumes that there exist an observer and a control law for the systems in the absence of any finite data-rate communication channel. Based on the observer and the control law, the authors constructs an encoder/decoder pair and provides a sufficient condition, including suitable sampling period and data rate, which will guarantee the stability of the closed-loop systems when a finite data-rate communication channel is introduced.
