Jointly optimal transmission power control and remote estimation over an infinite horizon is studied. A sensor observes a dynamic process and sends its observations to a remote estimator over a wireless fading channel characterized by a time-homogeneous Markov chain. The successful transmission probability depends on both the channel gains and the transmission power used by the sensor. The transmission power control rule and the remote estimator should be jointly designed, aiming to minimize an infinite-horizon cost consisting of the power usage and the remote estimation error. A first question one may ask is: Does this joint optimization problem have a solution? We formulate the joint optimization problem as an average cost belief-state Markov decision process and answer the question by proving that there exists an optimal deterministic and stationary policy. We then show that when the monitored dynamic process is scalar, the optimal remote estimates depend only on the most recently received sensor observation, and the optimal transmission power is symmetric and monotonically increasing with respect to the innovation error.

We consider a fundamental remote state estimation problem of discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. A smart sensor forwards its local state estimate to a remote estimator over a time-correlated $M$-state Markov fading channel, where the p acket drop probability is time-varying and depends on the current fading channel state. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for mean-square stability of the remote estimation error covariance as $rho^2(mathbf{A})rho(mathbf{DM})<1$, where $rho(cdot)$ denotes the spectral radius, $mathbf{A}$ is the state transition matrix of the LTI system, $mathbf{D}$ is a diagonal matrix containing the packet drop probabilities in different channel states, and $mathbf{M}$ is the transition probability matrix of the Markov channel states. To derive this result, we propose a novel estimation-cycle based approach, and provide new element-wise bounds of matrix powers. The stability condition is verified by numerical results, and is shown more effective than existing sufficient conditions in the literature. We observe that the stability region in terms of the packet drop probabilities in different channel states can either be convex or concave depending on the transition probability matrix $mathbf{M}$. Our numerical results suggest that the stability conditions for remote estimation may coincide for setups with a smart sensor and with a conventional one (which sends raw measurements to the remote estimator), though the smart sensor setup achieves a better estimation performance.
We consider remote state estimation of multiple discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems over multiple wireless time-varying communication channels. Each system state is measured by a sensor, and the measurements from sensors are sent to a r emote estimator over the shared wireless channels in a scheduled manner. We answer the following open problem: what is the fundamental requirement on the multi-sensor-multi-channel system to guarantee the existence of a sensor scheduling policy that can stabilize the remote estimation system? To tackle the problem, we propose a novel policy construction method, and develop a new analytical approach by applying the asymptotic theory of spectral radii of products of non-negative matrices. A necessary and sufficient stability condition is derived in terms of the LTI system parameters and the channel statistics, which is more effective than existing sufficient conditions available in the literature. Explicit scheduling policies with stability guarantees are presented as well. We further extend the analytical framework to cover remote estimation with four alternative network setups and obtain corresponding necessary and sufficient stability conditions.
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 challengin g 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.

We consider the optimal control of linear systems over wireless MIMO fading channels, where the MIMO wireless fading and random access of the remote controller may cause intermittent controllability or uncontrollability of the closed-loop control sys tem. We formulate the optimal control design over random access MIMO fading channels as an infinite horizon average cost Markov decision process (MDP), and we propose a novel state reduction technique such that the optimality condition is transformed into a time-invariant reduced-state Bellman optimality equation. We provide the closed-form characterizations on the existence and uniqueness of the optimal control solution via analyzing the reduced-state Bellman optimality equation. Specifically, in the case that the closed-loop system is almost surely controllable, we show that the optimal control solution always exists and is unique. In the case that MIMO fading channels and the random access of the remote controller destroy the closed-loop controllability, we propose a novel controllable and uncontrollable positive semidefinite (PSD) cone decomposition induced by the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the MIMO fading channel contaminated control input matrix. Based on the decomposed fine-grained reduced-state Bellman optimality equation, we further propose a closed-form sufficient condition for both the existence and the uniqueness of the optimal control solution. The closed-form sufficient condition reveals the fact that the optimal control action may still exist even if the closed-loop system suffers from intermittent controllability or almost sure uncontrollability.
We present two nonparametric approaches to Kullback-Leibler (KL) control, or linearly-solvable Markov decision problem (LMDP) based on Gaussian processes (GP) and Nystr{o}m approximation. Compared to recently developed parametric methods, the propose d data-driven frameworks feature accurate function approximation and efficient on-line operations. Theoretically, we derive the mathematical connection of KL control based on dynamic programming with earlier work in control theory which relies on information theoretic dualities for the infinite time horizon case. Algorithmically, we give explicit optimal control policies in nonparametric forms, and propose on-line update schemes with budgeted computational costs. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed frameworks.
