In this paper we consider the problem of state estimation for linear dynamic systems using quantized measurements. This problem arises when state estimation needs to be done using information transmitted over a digital communication channel. We investigate how to design the quantizer and the estimator jointly.

The need in recent years for higher frequency in state estimation execution covering larger supervised networks has led to the investigation of faster and numerically more stable state estimation algorithms. However, technical developments in distributed Energy Management Systems, based on fast data communication networks, open up the possibility of parallel or distributed state estimation impl...
