Transmission Power Policies for Energy-Efficient Wireless Control of Nonlinear Systems

We present an emulation-based controller and transmission policy design procedure for nonlinear wireless networked control systems. The objective is to ensure the stability of closed-loop system, in a stochastic sense, together with given performance, while minimizing average power used communications. designed by emulation, i.e., ignoring network, threshold policies. These policies involve waiting amount time since last successful instant, as well requiring that measured channel gain above threshold, before attempting new transmission. Two laws are investigated: 1) constant 2) level inversely proportional gain. explain how select time, minimize induced communication ensuring desired objectives.
