Radio Resource Management for QoS Guarantees in Cyber-Physical Systems

The recent deployment of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) has emerged as a promising approach to provide extensive interaction between computational and physical worlds. For a large-scale distributed CPS comprising of numerous machines, sharing radio resource efficiently with the existing wireless networks while maintaining sufficient Quality of Service (QoS) for Machine-To-Machine (M2M) communications becomes an essential and challenging requirement. By clustering CPS machines as a swarm with the cluster head managing radio resources inside the swarm, spectrum sharing among numerous machines can be achieved in a distributed and scalable fashion.
