Optimal Packet Transmission Rates for Platooning under Random Access C-V2X

The usage of wireless networks for Networked Controlled Systems (NCS) impose constraints on the required radio resources to ensure the desired Quality-of-Control (QoC). Usually, control systems are designed regardless of the wireless system and could misuse current wireless technologies capabilities by utilizing more resources than required and limiting the number of users accessing the network. However, the goal of Communications-Control Co-Design (CoCoCo) is to enable better usage of the communications resources by exploiting the knowledge of the degrees of freedom of the control system. This paper proposes a methodology to find optimal rates for a random access scheme to ensure string stability in a platoon of vehicles.
