DOI: 10.1007/s11424-020-9081-4 Received: 10 March 2019 / Revised: 20 November 2019 c The Editorial Office of JSSC & Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany 2020 Abstract The scheduling and control of a class of wireless networked control system is investigated, whose control loop is closed via a shared IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network. By using a gain scheduler within the packet-based control framework and fitting the delay-dependent gains into a time-delay system model, a less conservative self-triggered approach is proposed to determine the sampling update, which consequently enables the design of two network scheduling algorithms to reduce the communication usage. Numerical and TrueTime based examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in the sense that it reduces greatly the communication usage while maintaining satisfactory control performance.

Introduction

With the rapid advance of the wireless communication technology, the data transmission channels of control systems can now be implemented with various kinds of wireless communication networks, thus forming the so-called wireless networked control systems (WNCSs). Applications of WNCSs can already be found in smart home, intelligent transportation, smart agriculture[1–3] , and so forth. Furthermore, the next era intelligent systems such as Internet of Things, cyber physical systems, etc., are all demanding wireless connections among their components, hence creating great significance for the development of WNCSs.

reliably useful in practice, however, requires not only new design for the controller but also deep insight for the characteristics of the wireless communication network, which have attracted broad attention in recent years[4–9] . Considerable works have already been reported on WNCSs, which may be roughly divided into two categories. The first category of study is more from the control theory perspective. Despite the different communication constraints caused by wireless communication networks, these constraints can still be formulated as certain parameters within con
