Co-Design of Wireless Networked Control Systems: a Reliable and
Resource-Efficient Approach
Abstract
In this research, we provide a co-design strategy for WNCS that
simultaneously optimizes network and control parameters. The goal is to
optimize power use on the wireless communication layer by establishing a
variable inter-packet gap (IPG) or by transforming the control strategy
from reliable control to energy-efficient control with moderate
reliability. Control performance is optimized for moderate to high
packet loss using an RL-based technique that guarantees optimal resource
allocation. The design of a multi-objective issue that takes into
account both dependability and resource efficiency makes this possible.
The developed approach is then applied to the multi-objective
optimization problem. The suggested co-design RL-based control approach
shows the ability to reduce transmission power by an average of 5% to
10% even when there are losses in the network. In addition, it
effectively preserves or enhances control performance.
