Abstract -- In this report the control of continuous
linear plants where the state sensor is connected to a linear
controller/actuator via a network is addressed. The work focuses
on reducing the network usage using knowledge of the plant
dynamics. Specifically, the controller uses an explicit model of
the plant that approximates the plant dynamics and makes possible
stabilization of the plant even under slow network conditions.
Necessary and sufficient conditions for stability are derived for
the presented setup in terms of the update time h and the
parameters of the plant and of its model. The deterioration of
behavior when either h or the modeling error increase is
explicitly shown.
