Communication and control methodologies in networked control systems: A review

Abstract

In recent years, networked control systems have grown in importance and received increased interest as a new research subject. The process of integration of control and communication in networked control systems has posed a significant theoretical challenge for traditional control theory in terms of system design and analysis. The installation of networked control systems becomes an essential intermediate step toward the final convergence of control, communication, and computing as a result of this integration. We begin by covering the fundamentals of networked control systems, followed by an overview of current research in the subject. We hope that this brief lesson will serve as a catalyst for further research and development of networked control systems, both theoretically and in terms of practical applications.
