Modeling of Communication Delays Aiming at the Design of Networked Supervisory and Control Systems. A First Approach.

This paper presents a first approach to model the communication delays with the aim of improving the design of networked supervisory and control systems (NSCS). Network delays affect the performance of NSCS. Therefore, it is necessary a complete analysis, modeling and simulation of the communication delays upon the connection technology in use (e.g., Ethernet networks). A statistical model is proposed on the basis of autocorrelation of LRD that is imposed by the bursty behavior of the network traffic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
