Cyber-Physical Systems • System of collaborating computational elements controlling physical entities
Wireless Networked Control Systems • Sensors, actuators and controllers connect through a wireless network
Wireless Networked Control Systems • Benefits of wireless • Ease of installation and maintenance • Low complexity and cost • Large flexibility to accommodate modification and upgrade of components • Backed up by several industrial organizations • International Society of Automation (ISA) • Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) • Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (WINA)
Trade-off for Communication and Control Systems • Wireless communication system • Non-zero packet error probability • Unreliability of wireless transmissions • Non-zero delay • Packet transmission and shared wireless medium • Sampling and quantization errors • Signals transmitted via packets • Limited battery resources • Control system • Stringent requirements on timing and reliability • Smaller packet error probability, delay and sampling period • Better control system performance • More energy consumed in wireless communication
Outline • Optimization of communication system given requirements of control system • Novel design of scheduling algorithms • Joint optimization of control and communication systems • Novel abstractions for control systems
Outline • Optimization of communication system given requirements of control system • Novel design of scheduling algorithms • Joint optimization of control and communication systems • Novel abstractions for control systems
Novel Scheduling Algorithm Design • Packet generation period, transmission delay and reliability requirements: • Network Control Systems • sensor data -> real-time control of mechanical parts • Fixed determinism better than bounded determinism in control systems
Novel Scheduling Algorithm Design • Adaptivity requirement • Nodes should be scheduled as uniformly as possible EDF Uniform
Novel Scheduling Algorithm Design • Adaptivity requirement • Nodes should be scheduled as uniformly as possible 1 EDF Uniform
Novel Scheduling Algorithm Design • Adaptivity requirement • Nodes should be scheduled as uniformly as possible 2 EDF Uniform
Medium Access Control Layer: System Model • given for each link l • Choose subframe length as for uniform allocation • Assume is an integer: Allocate every subframes • Uniform distribution minimize max subframe active time max active time=0.9ms EDF max active time=0.6ms ✓ Uniform
Example Optimization Problem Formulation Maximum active time of subframes Periodic packet generation Delay requirement Energy requirement Maximum allowed power by UWB regulations Transmission time Transmission rate of UWB for no concurrent transmission case
Outline • Optimization of communication system given requirements of control system • Novel design of scheduling algorithms • Joint optimization of control and communication systems • Novel abstractions for control systems
Abstractions of Control System • Maximum Allowable Transfer Interval (MATI): maximum allowed time interval between subsequent state vector reports from the sensor nodes to the controller • Maximum Allowable Delay (MAD): maximum allowed packet delay for the transmission from the sensor node to the controller Hard real-time guarantee not possible for wireless -> Packet error probability >0 at any point in time MAD MATI
Abstractions of Control System • Stochastic MATI: keep time interval between subsequent state vector reports above MATI with a predefined probability to guarantee the stability of control systems • Many control applications and standards already use it • Industrial automation • IEEE 802.15.4e • Air transportation systems • Cooperative vehicular safety • Never been used in the joint optimization of control and communication systems
