Event-Based Sensor Transmission Strategy for Wireless Networked Control Systems Over Time-Varying Channels

Abstract

This article is concerned with the optimal event-based sensor transmission strategy for wireless networked control systems (WNCSs), which aims to minimize the linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) cost under the communication rate constraints. A sufficient and necessary condition for the convergence of LQG cost is derived. Then, under this condition, the optimal event-based transmission strategy (OETS) is obtained by proposing a search algorithm. Compared with the existing works, the real-time state information of the channel is not required. Finally, the validity of the results is illustrated through a numerical example.
