Abstract
Leader-following consensus is investigated for second-order continuous-time multi-agent systems with limited communication data rate in this study. The network communication topology is directed and static. Using the sampled position and velocity data, a corresponding discrete-time system, whose leader-following consensus is proved to be equivalent to that of the original system, is given. A distributed protocol is proposed based on dynamic encoding and decoding. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of such communication and control protocol to ensure the achievement of leader-following consensus, if the upper bound of the communication data rate is predetermined. Two algorithms are also presented to achieve the leader-following consensus if the communication data rate is unfixed or limited, respectively. Finally, simulation examples are given to verify and illustrate the theoretical analysis.
