A New Adaptive Controller in Wireless Networked Control Systems: Developing a Robust and Effective Controller for Energy Efficiency

A major concern in practical applications of wireless networked control systems (WNCSs) is the energy expenditure of wireless devices. There must be a tradeoff between the control performance requirement for fast updates and the battery lifetime of wireless sensors. This article presents a new adaptive controller for energy efficiency in industrial WNCSs. Reducing the frequency of wireless transmission allows for a reduction in the power expenditure of wireless devices in a WNCS.
