Wireless networked control systems (WNCSs) require the design of a robust scheduling algorithm that meets the stringent timing and reliability requirements of control systems, despite the limited battery resources of sensor nodes and adverse properties of wireless communication for delay and packet errors. In this article, we propose a robust delay and energy constrained scheduling algorithm based on the exploitation of the mostly pre-known periodic data generation nature of sensor nodes in control ...

The fast growth of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications in cellular networks brings the challenge of satisfying diverse Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements of massive number of machine type communications (MTC) devices with limited radio resources. In this study we first introduce the minimum bandwidth resource allocation problem for M2M communications in 5G and beyond cellular networks. NP-hardness of the problem is proven. Then we propose a fast and efficient polynomial-time algorithm ...

Communication system design for wireless networked control systems requires satisfying the high reliability and strict delay constraints of control systems for guaranteed stability with the limited battery resources of sensor nodes despite the wireless networking induced non-idealities. These include non-zero packet error probability caused by the unreliability of wireless transmissions and non-zero delay resulting from packet transmission and shared wireless medium. In this paper we study the ...

Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting is key in attaining perpetual lifetime for time-critical wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) due to full control on energy transfer, far field region, small and low-cost circuitry. In this paper, we propose a novel minimum length scheduling problem to determine the optimal power control, time allocation and schedule subject to data, energy causality and maximum transmit power constraints in a full-duplex WPCN. We first formulate the problem as a ...

In this paper, we consider a full duplex wireless powered communication network where multiple users with radio frequency energy harvesting capability communicate to an energy broadcasting hybrid access point. We investigate the minimum length scheduling and sum throughput maximization problems considering on-off transmission scheme in which users either transmit at a constant power or remain silent. For minimum length scheduling problem, we propose a polynomial-time optimal scheduling algorithm. ...

Radio resource allocation for massive M2M communications is one of the key problems in next generation cellular networks. Satisfying strict and very diverse quality-of-service requirements increases the hardness of this problem. in this thesis flexible scheduling problem for massive M2M communications is solved considering the physical layer architecture of 5G cellular networks. First envisioned physical layer architectures and waveforms proposed for 5G are investigated and a physical layer ...

In this paper, we consider a full duplex wireless powered communication network where multiple users with RF energy harvesting capabilities communicate to a hybrid energy and information access point.
