Sensor scheduling for relay-assisted wireless control systems with limited power resources.
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the transmission scheduling problem for wireless control systems (WCSs) with limited power resources. Different from the existing works, for a discrete-time linear process, we consider a more practical WCS, where a relay is introduced into the framework for remote transmission and control. To achieve the best control performance of the system, we propose a global optimal offline scheduling algorithm. Then, based on ACK-feedback framework, two different online scheduling schemes are further designed respectively under the given power resources. Theoretically, we prove the superiority of online schedule to the offline one under the same energy budget. Simulations are conducted to demonstrate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
