LQG Control and Scheduling Co-Design for Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks
Takuya Iwaki, Karl Henrik Johansson · 2018
This paper studies a co-design problem of control, scheduling and routing over a multi-hop sensor and actuator network subject to energy-saving consideration. Sensors are observing multiple independent linear systems and transmit their data to actuators in which controllers are co-located. We formulate an optimization problem, minimizing a linear combination of the averaged linear quadratic Gaussian control performance and the averaged transmission energy consumption. Optimal solutions are derived and their performance is illustrated in a numerical example. Algorithms to reconfigure routing between sensors and actuators in case of link disconnection are also provided.
