Abstract
Network resource allocation takes place within a wireless communication channel in which resource is defined with respect to time and frequency; a resource allocation process involves joint allocation of resource for communication to and from a controlled device, to enable a cyclic exchange of information and thus to enable wireless closed loop control of the device.
Claims18
A controller comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- define a communication channel between the controller and a controlled device, the controller and the controlled device forming a closed loop control system via the communication channel, the communication channel including a wireless communications channel defined with respect to at least one of time or frequency;
- and
- generate a joint resource allocation message in response to a feedback signal from the controlled device, the joint resource allocation message including resource allocation information defining an allocation of a time-bound resource of the wireless communications channel, the allocation being for resource for communication from the controller to the controlled device and for resource for communication from the controlled device to the controller within the time-bound resource, to enable completion of a cycle of the closed loop control system within the time-bound resource and to form the closed loop control system between the controller and the controlled device;
- and
- a communications interface configured to transmit the joint resource allocation message to the controlled device.
3 more elements
A base station comprising:
- a memory configured to store a joint resource allocation message from a controller;
- a processor configured to manage a wireless communication channel between the controller and a controlled device to establish a closed-loop control system including the controller and the controlled device, the wireless communication channel including a time-bound communication resource;
- and
- a communications interface configured to transmit the joint resource allocation message to the controlled device, the joint resource allocation message including resource allocation information defining an allocation of the time-hound resource of the wireless communications channel, the allocation being for resource for wireless communication from the controller to the controlled device via the base station and for resource for wireless communication from the controlled device to the controller within the time-bound resource, to enable completion of a cycle of the closed-loop control system within the time-hound resource and to form the closed loop control system between the controller and the controlled device.
1 more element
A method of managing a wireless communication in a controller, the method comprising:
- defining a communication channel between the controller and a controlled device, the controller and the controlled device forming a closed loop control system via the communication channel, the communication channel including a wireless communications channel defined with respect to at least one of time or frequency;
- generating a joint resource allocation message in response to a feedback signal from the controlled device, the joint resource allocation message including resource allocation information defining an allocation of a time-bound resource of the wireless communications channel, the allocation being for resource for communication from the controller to the controlled device and for resource for communication from the controlled device to the controller within the time-bound resource, to enable completion of a cycle of closed loop control within the time-bound resource and to form the closed loop system between the controller and the controlled device;
- and
- transmitting the joint resource allocation message to the controlled device.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions which are executed by a computer apparatus configured as a controller to provide operations of:
- defining a communication channel between the controller and a controlled device, the controller and the controlled device forming a closed loop control system via the communication channel, the communication channel including a wireless communications channel defined with respect to at least one of time or frequency;
- a
- generating a joint resource allocation message in response to a feedback signal from the controlled device, the joint resource allocation message including esource allocation information defining an allocation of a time-bound resource of the wireless communications channel, the allocation being for resource for communication from the controller to the controlled device and for resource for communication from the controlled device to the controller within the time-bound resource, to enable completion of a cycle of closed loop control within the time-bound resource and to form the closed loop system between the controller and the controlled device;
- and
- transmitting the joint resource allocation message to the controlled device.
