Hybrid Protocols for Cyber-Physical Systems

Description

With the rapid improvements in communication technology, mobility, flexibility, bandwidth, hardware, and the availability of wireless communication infrastructure, wireless communication has become the central element in most modern technology, including control systems engineering and cyber-physical systems. The fundamental question addressed in this research is related to the trade-off between the wireless communication characteristics in terms of available wireless communication resources and the control system requirements that guarantee data exchange and maintains the networked system performance.

Goals

  • Study the effect of limited communication resources in wireless communication standards and Medium Access Control protocols (MAC)
  • Development of optimal resource allocation algorithms to ensure data exchange and information flow within the networked control system
  • Design and implementation of hybrid protocols (i.e. event- and time-triggered) for various cyber-physical and control system applications
  • Experimental validation of the developed algorithms in various set of applications including connected vehicles, robots, and drones
