Hybrid unidirectional time delay estimation method suitable for network control system

Abstract

The invention relates to a mixed type one-way delay estimation method, which is suitable for a network control system (NCS). The method comprises the following steps: (1) estimating the one-way delay of a start control initial frame sent from an actuator in the NCS by adopting an online measuring method which is based on router delay compositional analysis, so as to obtain a relatively precise estimated value; and (2) respectively estimating through a series of calculations which are based on rebound trip time (RTT) values recorded by local clocks at both ends of the system and use the obtained start control initial frame estimated value as a reference scalar to obtain the one-way delay values in the forward channel and the backward channel of the NCS. The method not only effectively overcomes the oversized system overhead defect of the online estimation method, but also has remarkably improved precision of the estimated value compared with the prior end-to-end one-way delay estimation method, so as to achieve the purpose of effectively and accurately estimating the one-way delay of the NCS.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of mechanical manufacturing automation, industrial automatic control and computer network, and specifically relates to a hybrid one-way delay estimation method suitable for network control systems. Background technique [0002] Due to the characteristics of low application cost and high flexibility, computer networks can be widely used in automatic control applications in various industrial fields, such as remote industrial control, production workshop automation, and remote monitoring of equipment.

Problems solved by technology

The accuracy of this method mainly depends on the reference scalar value, but it is difficult to obtain an accurate reference scalar value by the heuristic estimation method

In addition, the algorithm is not designed for NCS and cannot be directly applied to NCS applications

To sum up, because the current methods still have more or less theoretical defects and deficiencies, and there are still relatively large application limitations in the actual environment, the forward and reverse control channels in NCS Estimating the one-way delay of the
