When multiple control processes share a common wireless network, the communication protocol must provide reliable performance in order to yield stability of the overall system. In this paper, the novel cross-layer optimized control (CLOC) protocol is proposed for minimizing the worst case performance loss of multiple industrial control systems. CLOC is designed for a general wireless sensor and actuator network where both sensor to controller and controller to actuator connections are over a multihop mesh network. The design approach relies on a constrained max-min optimization problem, where the objective is to maximize the minimum resource redundancy of the network and the constraints are the stability of the closed-loop control systems and the schedulability of the communication resources. The optimal operation point of the protocol is automatically set in terms of the sampling rate, scheduling, and …
