We develop cooperation of linear systems with uncertain communication factors. For cooperative stabilization of linear systems with partially measurable states and finite data rate, quantized-observer based communication protocols and Certainty Equivalence principle based control protocols are proposed to characterize the inter-agent communication and cooperative control in an integrative framework. Small capacity theorems are developed for distributed averaging and the case with second-order dynamics. For the case with additive noises, some necessary conditions and sufficient conditions are given for the stochastic approximation type algorithm to ensure mean square and almost sure consensus. For the case with multiplicative noises, stability for stochastic differential equations driven by multiplicative noises is examined. Explicit sufficient conditions are deduced for mean square and almost sure consentability.
