A Decentralised Control Algorithm for an Automated Coexistence Management
Darina Schulze, Holger Zipper · 2018
Several wireless communication systems operating in parallel are typical for industrial applications. These systems have to be coexistent in order to fulfil all their application communication requirements. Ensuring this coexistence is called coexistence management. In this contribution we investigate a decentralised control approach for an automated coexistence management. Here we use a model predictive control approach in max - plus algebra for timed Petri-net methods. We show a theoretical stability proof of the controller to the reference value. For that, we convert the original coordinates into error coordinates. Finally, we use a practical hardware-in-the-loop setup with WiFi-technology as test system for validation the controller.
