Summary:In this paper we introduce a new protocol, prioritized carrier
sense multiple access with collision avoidance, for real-time wireless
local area networking. Wireless networks increasingly will be called
upon to carry mixed traffic, some portion of which will be devoted to
real-time control and monitoring. Our protocol, based upon the IEEE
802.11 wireless standard, mixes real-time traffic with standard
multimedia data in a way which assures loop stability. Scheduling the
real-time traffic is the primary issue considered. Under our framework,
we propose and validate several new algorithms for dynamically
scheduling the traffic of wireless networked control systems: constant
penalty, estimated error order and lag first-order schemes. All
algorithms are compared via simulation and the results show that dynamic
scheduling algorithms achieve better system performance on average than
static scheduling algorithms like fixed-order polling. The results of a
real experiment involving two dryer plants and three IEEE 802.11 nodes
are reported with static scheduling employed as it lower bounds the
closed-loop behavior
