The paper under discussion [12] presents the analytical results underlying the authors’ design of a networked control system (NCS) operating over a cellular network. Their formulation fits the common framework [7, 14], in which there are transmission delays present in the sensor/controller and controller/actuator paths. One key difference between this work and existing literature relates to the...

A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...

The integration of physical systems through computing and networking has become pervasive, a trend now known as Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). Functionality in CPS emerges from the interaction of networked computational and physical objects. System design and integration are particularly challenging because fundamentally different physical and computational design concerns intersect. The impact ...

In this research, we study a control method of a multivehicle system while considering the limitation of communication range for each vehicles. When we control networked vehicles with limitation of communication range, it is important to control the communication network structure of a multi-vehicle system in order to keep the network’s connectivity. From this, we especially aim to control the ...
