This book discusses recent advances in the estimation and control of networked systems with
unacknowledged packet losses: systems usually known as user-datagram-protocol-like. It presents
both the optimal and sub-optimal solutions in the form of algorithms which are designed to be
implemented easily by computer routines. It also provides MATLAB® routines for the key
algorithms. It shows how these methods and algorithms can solve estimation and control problems
effectively and identifies potential research directions and ideas to help readers grasp the
field more easily.The novel auxiliary estimator method which is able to deal with estimators
that consist of exponentially increasing terms is developed to analyze the stability and
convergence of the optimal estimator. The book also explores the structure and solvability of
the optimal control i.e. linear quadratic Gaussian control. It develops various sub-optimal
but efficient solutions for estimation and control for industrial and practical applications
and analyzes their stability and performance.This is a valuable resource for researchers
studying networked control systems especially those related to non-TCP-like networks. The
practicality of the ideas included makes it useful for engineers working with networked
control.
