RT-WiFi: real-time high speed communication protocol for wireless control systems

Due to their enhanced mobility and reduced configuration and maintenance cost, wireless control systems (WCSs) are widely used in process and vibration control systems, on medical devices, unmanned vehicles and robotics. However, most literatures in WCSs focus on monitoring and low speed control, and less effort has been made on high speed WCSs. It is because most existing wireless communication protocols cannot provide real-time and reliable communication links with preferable high speed by taking energy saving into consideration.
