contents This paper considers a wireless networked control system (WNCS) consisting of a dynamic system to be controlled (i.e., a plant), a sensor, an actuator and a remote controller for mission-critical Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. A WNCS has two types of wireless transmissions, i.e., the sensor's measurement transmission to the controller and the controller's command transmission to the actuator. In this work, we consider a practical half-duplex controller, which introduces a novel transmission-scheduling problem for WNCSs. A frequent scheduling of sensor's transmission results in a better estimation of plant states at the controller and thus a higher quality of control command, but it leads to a less frequent/timely control of the plant. Therefore, considering the overall control performance of the plant in terms of its average cost function, there exists a fundamental tradeoff between the sensor's and the controller's transmissions. We formulate a new problem to optimize the transmission-scheduling policy for minimizing the long-term average cost function. We derive the necessary and sufficient condition of the existence of a stationary and deterministic optimal policy that results in a bounded average cost in terms of the transmission reliabilities of the sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator channels. Also, we derive an easy-to-compute suboptimal policy, which notably reduces the average cost of the plant compared to a naive alternative-scheduling policy.
