In this chapter, we shall discuss the problem of quantized iterative learning for digital networks consisting of many packet radio terminals sent to a single hub station. Digital networks include packet data networks, cellular and micro-cellular networks, and mobile satellite networks. In general, a digital network is a complex circuit network composed of large assemblies of logic gates. Digital networks are more useful than analog circuit networks because they make it easier for an electronic device to switch to one of several known states rather than precisely reproducing a continuous range of values.
