Communication capacity requirements

Abstract

In this chapter, the requirements of communication capacity are studied. Both deterministic and stochastic physical dynamics are considered. Various approaches in different setups are taken, such as entropy-based analysis and anytime capacity. Finally, related topics in statistical mechanics are discussed.

5.1 Introduction

In this chapter, we study the communication capacity requirements (usually in terms of bits) for controlling the physical dynamics in cyber physical systems (CPSs). This is the first step of communication network design in CPSs, since we need to understand ...
