Technological advances have made wireless sensors cheap and reliable enough to be brought into industrial use. A major challenge arises from the fact that wireless channels introduce random packet dropouts. Power control and coding are key enabling technologies in wireless communications to ensure efficient communications. In the present work, we examine the role of power control and coding for Kalman filtering over wireless correlated channels. Two estimation architectures are considered: In the first, the sensors send their measurements directly to a single gateway. In the second scheme, wireless relay nodes provide additional links. The gateway decides on the coding scheme and the transmitter power levels of the wireless nodes. The decision process is carried out on-line and adapts to varying channel conditions in order to improve the trade-off between state estimation accuracy and energy expenditure. In combination with predictive power control, we investigate the use of multiple-description coding, zero-error coding and network coding and provide sufficient conditions for the expectation of the estimation error covariance matrix to be bounded. Numerical results suggest that the proposed method may lead to energy savings of around 50 %, when compared to an alternative scheme, wherein transmission power levels and bit-rates are governed by simple logic. In particular, zero-error coding is preferable at time instances with high channel gains, whereas multiple-description coding is superior for time instances with low gains. When channels between the sensors and the gateway are in deep fades, network coding improves estimation accuracy significantly without sacrificing energy efficiency.

This paper considers state estimation of linear systems using analog amplify and forwarding with multiple sensors, for both multiple access and orthogonal access schemes. Optimal state estimation can be achieved at the fusion center using a time varying Kalman filter. We show that in many situations, the estimation error covariance decays at a rate of $1/M$ when the number of sensors $M$ is large. We consider optimal allocation of transmission powers that 1) minimizes the sum power usage subject to an error covariance constraint and 2) minimizes the error covariance subject to a sum power constraint. In the case of fading channels with channel state information the optimization problems are solved using a greedy approach, while for fading channels without channel state information but with channel statistics available a sub-optimal linear estimator is derived.
Novel low-power wireless technologies and IoT applications open the door to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). In this new paradigm, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) must fulfil, despite energy and transmission power limitations, the challenging communication requirements of advanced manufacturing processes and technologies. In industrial networks, this is possible thanks to the availability of network infrastructure and the presence of a network coordinator that efficiently allocates the available radio resources. In this work, we consider a WSN that simultaneously transmits measurements of Networked Control Systems (NCSs) dynamics to remote state estimators over a shared packet-erasure channel. We develop a minimum transmission power control (TPC) policy for the coordination of the wireless medium by formulating an infinite horizon Markov decision process (MDP) optimization problem. We compute the policy using an approximate value iteration algorithm and provide an extensive evaluation of its parameters in different interference scenarios and NCSs dynamics. The evaluation results present a comprehensive characterization of the algorithms performance, proving that it can flexibly adapt to arbitrary use cases.
In this paper, we consider a networked control system (NCS) in which an dynamic plant system is connected to a controller via a temporally correlated wireless fading channel. We focus on communication power design at the sensor to minimize a weighted average state estimation error at the remote controller subject to an average transmit power constraint of the sensor. The power control optimization problem is formulated as an infinite horizon average cost Markov decision process (MDP). We propose a novel continuous-time perturbation approach and derive an asymptotically optimal closed-form value function for the MDP. Under this approximation, we propose a low complexity dynamic power control solution which has an event- driven control structure. We also establish technical conditions for asymptotic optimality, and sufficient conditions for NCS stability under the proposed scheme.
We present an omnidirectional wireless power transfer (WPT) system capable of automatic power flow control using three orthogonal transmitter (Tx)-repeater (Rp) pairs. The power drawn from each transmitter is automatically adjusted depending on the mutual inductance between the receiver and the Tx-Rp pair. The proposed approach enables the receiver to harvest almost uniform power with high efficiency (90%) regardless of its position.
The paper considers a wireless networked control system (WNCS), where a controller sends packets carrying control information to an actuator through a wireless channel to control a physical process for industrial-control applications. In most of the existing work on WNCSs, the packet length for transmission is fixed. However, from the channel-encoding theory, if a message is encoded into a longer codeword, its reliability is improved at the expense of longer delay. Both delay and reliability have great impact on the control performance. Such a fundamental delay-reliability tradeoff has rarely been considered in WNCSs. In this paper, we propose a novel WNCS, where the controller adaptively changes the packet length for control based on the current status of the physical process. We formulate a decision-making problem and find the optimal variable-length packet-transmission policy for minimizing the long-term average cost of the WNCSs. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition on the existence of the optimal policy in terms of the transmission reliabilities with different packet lengths and the control system parameter.
