Research on the Switch Scheduling Algorithm of Networked Control System

Abstract

Networked Control System is the focus of current research in control field, and the use of a shared network introduces new challenges, therefore, it is significant to research scheduling algorithms for improving the control and schedule performance of NCS. In the paper, according to the challenges existing in scheduling algorithms, a new scheduling algorithm called Switch scheduling is proposed, and the calculation method of switching conditions is also given. In the proposed algorithm, network-induced delay and network utilization are considered to satisfy the different network condition with appropriate scheduling algorithm. The proposed algorithm improves the network utilization and the efficiency of data transmission, and guarantees the system stability. Finally, a simulation example is conducted to validate the feasibility and superiority of the proposed switch scheduling.
