Transmission delay and energy consumption of a sensor node are determined by the transmission power and rate of that sensor node and the concurrently transmitting nodes. Hence, the transmission schedule, and the power and rate parameters of the nodes should be jointly optimized. Joint optimization problem for M2M control applications has been previously formulated and solved by adopting a static channel. in this paper, we extend this framework for fading channels. First, we propose an offline scheduling algorithm that exploits the periodic nature of the transmissions under a priori known channel. then we propose an online scheduling algorithm based on the prediction of the channel information by using previous measurements, scheduling of the nodes using offline algorithm, and modification of the schedule and the transmission parameters of the nodes under the actual channel information as time evolves. Extensive simulations demonstrate the near optimal performance of online and offline scheduling algorithms for different network sizes and densities.EngineeringElectrical electronic engineeringTelecommunicationsTowards ultra-reliable M2M communication: scheduling policies in fading channelsConference proceeding386851600018N/A2991
