Send-On-Delta Sensor Data Transmission With A Linear Predictor

摘要

This paper is concerned with sensor data transmission strategy. The main focus of the paper is how to reduce the number of sensor data transmission while maintaining the difference between the estimated sensor value and the real sensor value. The proposed method could be used in sensor networks and networked control systems, where number of transmission should be minimal. A linear predictor is used to predict sensor values and sensor data are transmitted if the difference between the predicted sensor value and the real sensor value exceeds the specified limit. An analytic upper bound of the mean rate of messages is provided. Through simulation, it is shown that the number of transmission could be significantly reduced compared with the periodic sampling and the conventional send-on-delta method.
