Wireless Control for the IoT: Power, Spectrum, and Security Challenges: Poster Abstract

We present recent work in the design and operation of wireless sensor-actuation systems along three aspects. At the device level, a major drive is the reduced power consumption of the wireless transceivers without loss of control performance. At the channel access level, a shared wireless channel needs to be administered between multiple systems with control performance guarantees for all systems. At the application security level, the broadcast nature of the wireless medium raises confidentiality concerns against eavesdroppers who may overhear sensor and actuator measurements.
