Capture effect based communication primitives: Closing the loop in wireless cyber-physical systems

Paper in proceeding, 2012

We argue in this paper that CaptureCom closes the control loop in wireless CPS: it provides efficient collection, processing (in our example aggregation), and dissemination within the network, making it suitable for widespread control applications. Our initial evaluation shows that CaptureCom efficiently exploits spacial diversity. It converges within 125 ms at high reliability, leading to low communication delays and high energy efficiency. Motivated by these promising initial results, we are currently investigating the theoretical and experimental foundations of CaptureCom as a novel primitive for wireless CPS.
