Feedback stabilization over wireless network using adaptive coded modulation

In this paper, we apply adaptive coded modulation (ACM) schemes to a wireless networked control system (WNCS)to improve the energy efficiency and increase the data rate over a fading channel. To capture the characteristics of varying rate,interference, and routing in wireless transmission channels, the concepts of equivalent delay (ED) and networked condition index (NCI)are introduced. Also, the analytic lower and upper bounds of EDs are obtained. Furthermore, we model the WNCS as a multicontroller switched system (MSS) under consideration of EDs and loss index in the wireless transmission. Sufficient stability condition of the closed-loop WNCS and corresponding dynamic state feedback controllers are derived in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI).Numerical results show the validity and advantage of our proposed control strategies.
