Wireless Networked Control System using IEEE 802.15.4 with GTS

In this paper, the suitability of wireless sensor networks for networked control loop is shown. As the non beacon-enabled mode of IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee does not ensure the stability for the control loop since non mechanism can prevent the perturbation coming from other applications sharing the same network, we investigate the beacon-enabled mode using the Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) mechanism and show it is suitable.
