This paper is concerned with transmission rate and control codesign of wireless sensor networked control systems (WSNCS) with time-varying delay. Jointly designing transmission rate and control is an attractive paradigm for WSNCS, since the control performance of WSNCS is highly sensitive to resource-constrained communication networks. The main idea of devised scheme is searching an optimal event-triggered transmission condition on the premise that wireless link capacity constraint is satisfied and stability of systems is guaranteed. The main aim of devised scheme is to greatly optimize control performance of WSNCS. First, two wireless network architectures characterized by multihop and star topology are put forward. Secondly, a model of WSNCS with event-triggered transmission mechanism is constructed. It is followed by stability analysis of WSNCS to obtain the asymptotical stability condition of systems. And then a search algorithm is presented for transmission rate and control codesign. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The stability guarantee of wireless networked control systems is still challenging due to the complex interaction among the layers and the vulnerability to network faults, such as link and node failures. In this paper, we propose a robust wireless sensor and actuator network (R-WSAN) to maintain the control stability of multiple plants over the spatial-temporal changes of wireless networks. The proposed joint design protocol combines the distributed controller of control systems and the clustering, resource scheduling, and control task sharing scheme of wireless networks over a hierarchical cluster-based network. In particular, R-WSAN decouples the tasks from the inherently unreliable nodes and allows control tasks to share between nodes of wireless networks. Our simulations demonstrate that R-WSAN provides the enhanced resilience to the network faults for sensing and actuation without significantly disrupting the control performance.

For networked control systems, the bandwidth resource is always limited; thus besides control performance, the efficient resource utilization is also crucial. In this paper, a novel event-triggered control and resource scheduling codesign approach is proposed to stabilize the uncertain dynamic systems which are subject to time-varying network introduced delays. A discrete switched system with uncertain parameters is employed to model the event-triggered control system with time-varying network-induced delays. Based on the model, a control law, scheduling strategy, and event-triggered condition codesign approach is investigated. A set of linear matrix inequalities are used to tackle the codesign problem. As the solution to the problem, a control law is obtained to guarantee stability or certain performance properties; an event-triggered condition and a scheduling strategy are also obtained to efficiently utilize the limited resources. That is, the event-triggered condition makes the network accession be triggered when it is necessary. The scheduling strategy guarantees the control loop suffering the worst control performance can get the authority to access the network. The proposed approach is evaluated through simulated experiments, with respect to the networked control of inverted pendulums. The results show that the proposed event-triggered control and scheduling approach can achieve better control performances with lower average resource consumption in comparison with the time-based control strategy.

This paper presents an optimized algorithm for event-triggered control (ETC) of networked control systems (NCS). Initially, the traditional backstepping controller is designed for a generalized nonlinear plant in strict-feedback form that is subsequently extended to the ETC. In the NCS, the controller and the plant communicate with each other using a communication network. In order to minimize the bandwidth required, the number of samples to be sent over the communication channel should be reduced. This can be achieved using the non-uniform sampling of data. However, the implementation of non-uniform sampling without a proper event triggering rule might lead the closed-loop system towards instability. Therefore, an optimized event triggering algorithm has been designed such that the system states are always forced to remain in stable trajectory. Additionally, the effect of ETC on the stability of backstepping control has been analyzed using the Lyapunov stability theory. Two case studies on an inverted pendulum system and single-link robot system have been carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ETC in terms of system states, control effort and inter-event execution time.
