Abstract

Abstract : With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the newest development of wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) provides significant potential applications for various real-time scenarios. Currently, extensive research activities have been carried out in the field of efficient resource management and control design. However, the stability of the controlled plant and the efficiency of network resources are rarely considered collaboratively in existing works. In this paper, in order to enhance the control stability and improve the power consumption efficiency for the WSAN, a novel three-step optimization algorithm jointly designing the control strategy and transmission path routing is proposed when the time delay is considered. First, the minimum hop routing algorithm is used to obtain the set of candidate transmission paths. Then, the optimal control signals for each candidate transmission path can be iteratively derived with a backward recursion method. Finally, the best transmission path is determined under the optimal control strategy to achieve the joint optimization design. The effectiveness of the proposed joint optimization algorithm is verified by the simulations of the application in the power grid system.
