Cyber-physical control applications impose strict requirements on the reliability and latency of the underlying communication system. Hence, they have been mostly implemented using wired channels where the communication service is highly predictable. Nevertheless, fulfilling such stringent demands is envisioned with the fifth generation of mobile networks (5G). The requirements of such applications are often defined on the application layer. However, cyber-physical control applications can usually tolerate sparse packet loss, and therefore it is not at all obvious what configurations and settings these application level requirements impose on the underlying wireless network. In this paper, we apply the fundamental metrics from reliability literature to wireless communications and derive a mapping function between application level requirements and network level parameters for those metrics under deterministic arrivals. Our mapping function enables network designers to realize the end-to-end performance (as the target application observes it). It provides insights to the network controller to either enable more reliability enhancement features (e.g., repetition), if the metrics are below requirements, or to enable features increasing network utilization, otherwise. We evaluate our theoretical results by realistic and detailed simulations of a factory automation scenario. Our simulation results confirm the viability of the theoretical framework under various burst error tolerance and load conditions.
Technical advances in ubiquitous sensing, embedded computing, and wireless communication are leading to a new generation of engineered systems called cyber-physical systems (CPS). CPS promises to transform the way we interact with the physical world
There is a pressing need to interconnect physical systems such as power grid and vehicles for efficient management and safe operations. Owing to the diverse features of physical systems, there is hardly a one-size-fits-all networking solution for dev
In this research paper, state space representation of concurrent, linearly coupled dynamical systems is discussed. It is reasoned that the Tensor State Space Representation (TSSR) proposed in [Rama1] is directly applicable in such a problem. Also som
Industrial cyber-physical systems require complex distributed software to orchestrate many heterogeneous mechatronic components and control multiple physical processes. Industrial automation software is typically developed in a model-driven fashion w
Freight transportation is of outmost importance for our society and is continuously increasing. At the same time, transporting goods on roads accounts for about 26% of all energy consumption and 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the European Uni
