Fundamental limitations or performance trade-offs/limits are important properties and constraints of control and filtering systems. Among various trade-off metrics, total information rate, which characterizes the sensitivity trade-offs and average performance of control and filtering systems, is conventionally studied by using the (differential) entropy rate and Kolmogorov-Bode formula. In this paper, by extending the famous I-MMSE (mutual information – minimum mean-square error) relationship to the discrete-time additive white Gaussian channels with and without feedback, a new paradigm is introduced to estimate and analyze total information rate as a control and filtering trade-off metric. Under this framework, we enrich the trade-off properties of total information rate for a variety of discrete-time control and filtering systems, e.g., LTI, LTV, and nonlinear, and also provide an alternative approach to investigate total information rate via optimal estimation.
