Towards High-Performance Wireless Control in 5G and Beyond
Wed, 18/09/2019 - 14:00 to 15:00
Location:
Speaker:
Dr. Liying (Emma) Li
Affiliation:
University of Glasgow
Synopsis:
In 5G and beyond, high-performance wireless control is one of the essential features to enable many emerging applications, e.g., remote robotics, industrial automation, self-driving vehicles and drones, remote surgery and healthcare, and smart grid. Unfortunately, the performance of today’s wireless control systems is lagging far behind in their ability to support these applications. This talk first discusses the fundamental reason behind the big gap between high communication requirements from control systems and existing solutions from communication systems. Then we compare the difference between data communication system and information update system, where the latter is for wireless control. Next, we provide examples to demonstrate the importance of considering both control and communication parameters in system design. Finally, our latest results and prototypes will be shown in this talk.
