A Scheduling Algorithm Based on Communication Delay for Wireless Network Control System

In this study, a scheduling algorithm based on communication delay is proposed. This scheduling algorithm can tolerate delay of periodic communication tasks in wireless network control system. It resolves real-time problem of periodic communication tasks in wireless network control system and partly reduces overtime phenomenon of periodic communication tasks caused by delay in wireless network. At the same time, the nonlinear programming model is built for solving scheduling timetable based on the proposed scheduling algorithm. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheduling algorithm is evaluated by an application example. The statistics results show that it is more effective than traditional scheduling algorithms in wireless network control system.
