Quantized output synchronization of networked passive systems with event-driven communication

In this paper, we study the quantized output synchronization problem of networked passive systems with event-driven communication, in which the data transmissions among networked agents are event-based and quantized measurements are exchanged among neighboring agents. We show that with the event-driven communication strategy proposed in the present paper, output synchronization errors of the networked passive systems are bounded by the quantization errors of the signals transmitted in the communication network.
