In the same way that subsequent pauses in spoken language are used to convey information, it is also possible to transmit information in communication networks not only by message content, but also with its timing. This paper presents an event-triggering strategy that utilizes timing information by transmitting in a state-dependent fashion. We consider the stabilization of a continuous-time, time-invariant, linear plant over a digital communication channel with bounded delay and subject to bounded plant disturbances and establish two main results. On the one hand, we design an encoding-decoding scheme that guarantees a sufficient information transmission rate for stabilization. On the other hand, we determine a lower bound on the information transmission rate necessary for stabilization by any control policy.

In the context of event-triggered control, the timing of the triggering events carries information about the state of the system that can be used for stabilization. At each triggering event, not only can information be transmitted by the message cont
ent (data payload) but also by its timing. We demonstrate this in the context of stabilization of a laboratory-scale inverted pendulum around its equilibrium point over a digital communication channel with bounded unknown delay. Our event-triggering control strategy encodes timing information by transmitting in a state-dependent fashion and can achieve stabilization using a data payload transmission rate lower than what the data-rate theorem prescribes for classical periodic control policies that do not exploit timing information. Through experimental results, we show that as the delay in the communication channel increases, a higher data payload transmission rate is required to fulfill the proposed event-triggering policy requirements. This confirms the theoretical intuition that a larger delay brings a larger uncertainty about the value of the state at the controller, as less timing information is carried in the communication. In addition, our results also provide a novel encoding-decoding scheme to achieve input-to-state practically stability (ISpS) for nonlinear continuous-time systems under appropriate assumptions.
We present an event-triggered control strategy for stabilizing a scalar, continuous-time, time-invariant, linear system over a digital communication channel having bounded delay, and in the presence of bounded system disturbance. We propose an encodi
ng-decoding scheme, and determine lower bounds on the packet size and on the information transmission rate which are sufficient for stabilization. We show that for small values of the delay, the timing information implicit in the triggering events is enough to stabilize the system with any positive rate. In contrast, when the delay increases beyond a critical threshold, the timing information alone is not enough to stabilize the system and the transmission rate begins to increase. Finally, large values of the delay require transmission rates higher than what prescribed by the classic data-rate theorem. The results are numerically validated using a linearized model of an inverted pendulum.
We consider the problem of stabilizing an undisturbed, scalar, linear system over a timing channel, namely a channel where information is communicated through the timestamps of the transmitted symbols. Each symbol transmitted from a sensor to a contr
oller in a closed-loop system is received subject to some to random delay. The sensor can encode messages in the waiting times between successive transmissions and the controller must decode them from the inter-reception times of successive symbols. This set-up is analogous to a telephone system where a transmitter signals a phone call to a receiver through a ring and, after the random delay required to establish the connection, the receiver is aware of the ring being received. Since there is no data payload exchange between the sensor and the controller, the set-up provides an abstraction for performing event-triggering control with zero payload rate. We show the following requirement for stabilization: for the state of the system to converge to zero in probability, the timing capacity of the channel should be at least as large as the entropy rate of the system. Conversely, in the case the symbol delays are exponentially distributed, we show a tight sufficient condition using a coding strategy that refines the estimate of the decoded message every time a new symbol is received. Our results generalize previous event-triggering control approaches, revealing a fundamental limit in using timing information for stabilization, independent of any transmission strategy.
This paper studies the optimal output-feedback control of a linear time-invariant system where a stochastic event-based scheduler triggers the communication between the sensor and the controller. The primary goal of the use of this type of scheduling
strategy is to provide significant reductions in the usage of the sensor-to-controller communication and, in turn, improve energy expenditure in the network. In this paper, we aim to design an admissible control policy, which is a function of the observed output, to minimize a quadratic cost function while employing a stochastic event-triggered scheduler that preserves the Gaussian property of the plant state and the estimation error. For the infinite horizon case, we present analytical expressions that quantify the trade-off between the communication cost and control performance of such event-triggered control systems. This trade-off is confirmed quantitatively via numerical examples.
This paper considers a remote state estimation problem with multiple sensors observing a dynamical process, where sensors transmit local state estimates over an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) packet dropping channel to a remote esti
mator. At every discrete time instant, the remote estimator decides whether each sensor should transmit or not, with each sensor transmission incurring a fixed energy cost. The channel is shared such that collisions will occur if more than one sensor transmits at a time. Performance is quantified via an optimization problem that minimizes a convex combination of the expected estimation error covariance at the remote estimator and expected energy usage across the sensors. For transmission schedules dependent only on the estimation error covariance at the remote estimator, this work establishes structural results on the optimal scheduling which show that 1) for unstable systems, if the error covariance is large then a sensor will always be scheduled to transmit, and 2) there is a threshold-type behaviour in switching from one sensor transmitting to another. Specializing to the single sensor case, these structural results demonstrate that a threshold policy (i.e. transmit if the error covariance exceeds a certain threshold and dont transmit otherwise) is optimal. We also consider the situation where sensors transmit measurements instead of state estimates, and establish structural results including the optimality of threshold policies for the single sensor, scalar case. These results provide a theoretical justification for the use of such threshold policies in variance based event triggered estimation. Numerical studies confirm the qualitative behaviour predicted by our structural results. An extension of the structural results to Markovian packet drops is also outlined.
