1 Introduction

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are the system level integra-tions of the computation networking andphysical dynamicsin which embedded devices such as sensors and actuatorsare (wirelessly) networked to sense monitor and con-trol the physical world [1] CPSs are expected to have atremendous impact on many critical sectors (such as energymanufacturing healthcare transportation and aerospace)of the economy and they transform the way human-to-human human-to-object and object-to-object interactionstake place in the physical and virtual worlds [2] Complexcyber-physical systems are compositions of heterogeneouscomponents they often include thermal electromechanicalchemical computing and communication elements withan underlying data network thread for communication andcontrol The dynamics of all the networked elements bothcyber and physical are critical to the performance of theoverall system [3] In energy conservation application of CPS

in large scale and comfort critical systems like IntelligentBuilding Automation System (IBAS) various physical sys-tems comprise HVAC (heating ventilation and air condi-tioning) lighting elevators and other electrical subsystemson each floor which are networked and controlled to achievethe set goal of energy efficiency user comfort and economicoperation [4]

Further the skyrocketing energy costs and the widelyaccepted concept of green buildings are driving the adop-tion of Networked Control Systems (NCSs) for buildingautomation so as to use the best technology for the pur-poses mentioned above [5 6] NCSs combine low cost andlow power devices with embedded processors networkedin order to provide intelligent and efficient sensing andactuation over a geographic area [7] Energy efficiency andoccupant comfort are two major issues in building controlsystem design as discussed above and research efforts areneeded to develop appropriate communication and controlstrategies for minimizing the total energy consumed without

compromising the indoor comfort Here the problem isformulated as a critical control system so that the economyand longevity are assured by exploiting the advantages ofmodern communication and control technologies

In order to build intelligence in BAS a sensor networkconsisting of hundreds of sensors in a building can accuratelybe deployed to monitormeasure the temperature air qual-ity light humidity door or windowrsquos openclose positionand occupancy accurately [8] Occupancy sensors can beinstalled to automatically switch the HVAC and lighting sys-tem in accordance with the occupancy status of the buildingzones Actuator nodes in turn would have the responsibilityto control the subsystems within the building zones Energysavings can be more when the separate subsystems cooperateand communicate with each other Integration of thesesubsystems would add more sophistication to the controlsystem and it would be possible to render an intelligentsystem of Building Automation System (BAS) Enhancementof battery life of sensor nodes will naturally lead to networkavailability and system reliability

Looking at the cost factor and deployability it is seenthat the necessity of wireless BAS arises in various situations(i) when wiring is expensive and time-consuming (ii) whenit demands scalability and flexibility in the deployment ofsensoractuator nodes and (iii) when there is need forredeployment or retrofit without affecting the aestheticsof existing buildings [9] With due design considerationsand planning and by adopting appropriate implementationtechniques wireless technology can be used economicallyand efficiently The advantages of wireless technology cannotbe outweighed by the challenges like poor channel condi-tions and competition for channel access which may createunreliable and delayed communication of control and datatraffic Hence intense research efforts are needed to addressthe diverse issues in real time control of BAS over wirelessnetworks using open standards rather than proprietarystandards

The scenario of control that has been considered in thiswork is the automation of large shared spaces of commercialbuildings where big crowd occupies the space and movesfrom one space to another Occupancy pattern changesdynamically and unpredictably thus making the controlneeded for comfort and economy difficult otherwise [10]Normally the settings of the building climate control systemare to be in such a way that occupant comfort level is themaximum However this results into wastage of energy forlighting lamps coolingheating space and for air qualityassurance for unoccupied spaces also Moreover energyis wasted for overcooling and for cooling less occupiedspaces In modern approaches the building thermal zonesare divided based on the positioning of variable air volume(VAV) boxes of HVAC [11] The problem considered here isof a large shared space comprising more than one thermalzone of the building Occupancy patterns vary dynamicallyand the zones are classified into different priority classesThe requirement is that comfort level of heavily occupiedldquoprime zonesrdquo shall be maintained maximum compared tothe lightly occupied zones in concurrence with the energysaving in ldquovacantrdquolightly occupied zones In the proposed

method priority is assigned for wireless traffic of prime zonesusing quality of service (QoS) medium access control (MAC)protocol Emphasis is given to the competition among primezonesrsquos sensors belonging to the same shared space Stabilityof the closed loop control over wireless networks has beenensured while packet drops due to unreliable links existAdditionally the energy consumed by the nodes have tobe minimized to provide longer battery life and extendednetwork availability

The proposed architecture has a hierarchical structurefor communication and control and has the following fea-turesfunctionality (i) it decides the status of a particularzone based on its density and rate of change of occupancyand assigns proportional weights to the objective functionsusing fuzzy logic rule base (ii) it offers priority to the networktraffic of prime zones by QoS differentiated medium accesscontrol (MAC) via Elimination-Yield Nonpreemptive Multi-ple Access (EY-NPMA) scheme adopted withWi-Fi protocol(iii) it optimizes energy consumption and user comfort inevery zone based on occupancy using Nondominated SortedGenetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) (iv) it schedules transmitpower and sampling rates of wireless sensor nodes throughthe algorithm proposed (v) it deals with design of distributedlocal controllers to guarantee the stability of the closedloop control in presence of packet drops (due to unreliablenetwork links)

The remaining part of the paper is organized as followsa brief review of the related work is given in Section 2Architecture for an energy-efficient priority-access baseddecentralized controller for wireless BAS is described inSection 3 Sections 31ndash35 explain the fuzzy rule base forzone status selection the concept of EY-NPMA schemethe multiobjective optimization problem formulation usingNSGA-II the sensor node power scheduling algorithm forWSN and the decentralized controller design in the sequelSimulation results and discussions are described in Section 4Paper is concluded in Section 5

EY-NPMA [40] enabled Wi-Fi (EY-Wi-Fi) rather than IEEE80211e because of the ability of the former one to furtherdifferentiate the sensors among the same priority class zones

Zones belonging to the same priority class need to befurther prioritized based on the rate of change of occupancyOnly the nodes with equal priorities compete in the elimina-tion phase (second phase)They try tomake the channel busyby transmitting a burst signal of random lengthThose nodesthat do not transmit for the longest duration are eliminatedIn the yield phase (third phase) the nodes that send the burstsignal earliest win the contention and start the data packettransmission The channel access mechanism of EY-NPMAis shown in Figure 3 In this figure we have considered threeP-zones (1199111 1199112 and 1199113) contending for the channel accessWith all three being prime zones they possess equal prioritystatus with the same CWmin (contention windowminimum)and AIFS (arbitrary interframe space) values and enter intothe elimination phase by the transmission of assertion slot Inthe elimination phase 1199111 and 1199113 have the same burst lengthlonger than that of 1199112 so they move into the yield phase Inthe yield phase 1199113 wins the contention and starts data packettransmission as it transmits the shorter yield burst sequencecompared to that of 1199111 Priority can be assigned among N-zones or M-zones in a similar way

In addition to fitness value a parameter called crowdingdistance is calculated for each individual The crowdingdistance is a measure of how close an individual is to itsneighbors Large average crowding distance will result inbetter diversity in the population Parents are selected fromthe population by using binary tournament selection basedon the rank and crowding distance An individual is selectedif the rank is lesser than that of the others or if crowding

distance is greater among the individuals in the same front towhich it belongsThe selected population generates offspringsfrom crossover and mutation operators The population withthe current population and current offsprings is sorted againbased on nondomination and only the best 119873 individualsare selected where 119873 is the population size The selection isbased on the rank and the on the crowding distance on thelast front Following [43] the first objective ofminimizing thetotal energy consumption can be expressed as follows

values corresponding to the occupancy status of the zonesThe whole buildingrsquos energy consumption and user comfortcan be obtained through the summation of individual zonesrsquoenergy consumption and user comfort functions Energysaving of the proposed architecture is found varying basedon the variation in occupancy levels

For illustrating the claim zones shown in Figure 1 arecategorized into prime zone (maximum power consumption119875max = 48KW) normal activity zone (119875max = 37KW) andvacant zone (119875max = 13KW) obtained from the Pareto-fronts depicted in the figures while selecting the valuescorresponding to the maximum occupant comfort levelObtain 31 of energy savings compared with the case inwhich all the zones were treated as prime zones

Implementation of EY-Wi-fi [41] in ns-3 simulator [51]was used for performance evaluation of channel accessprotocol The protocol parameters were chosen followingthe study in [52] The channel access for the case of fournodes is shown in Figure 14 The plots show the durationof transmission for each node (ldquoONrdquo represents channellisteningreceiving and ldquoOFFrdquo represents transmission) withtime Node 2 belonging to a prime zone in Figure 14 has thelongest elimination burst and survives to the yield period

Node 2 wins the contention in yield phase also and begins itsdata packet transmission At the end of the transmission ofnode 2 node 1 which belongs to another prime zone triesto gain access to the channel again It sends a burst signalof longer sequence now and thus it wins the contention andstarts data packet transmission In this fashion all the nodestransmit their data Comparison of the performance of IEEE80211e and EY-Wi-Fi is shown in Figures 15-16 respectivelyProbability of a node to win the contention using 80211e is01726 and the probability of collision is obtained as 01465But the probability of a node to win the contention using EY-Wi-Fi is 04630with a probability of collision equaling 00841Hence the performance of EY-Wi-Fi is found better

The distributed and decentralized controllers were testedusing randomly generated matrices for1198608times8 and 1198618times3 (whichcould not be included due to space limitation) The perfor-mance of the proposed controllers was evaluated throughsimulation using WIDE toolbox [53] in MATLAB platformNetwork topology with three unreliable links and networktopology with six unreliable links were considered Theperformance indices taken are the minimum cost 119869 in (16) toreach the stable equilibrium state of the system and the CPUtime (in seconds) expended for that

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

compromising the indoor comfort Here the problem isformulated as a critical control system so that the economyand longevity are assured by exploiting the advantages ofmodern communication and control technologies

In order to build intelligence in BAS a sensor networkconsisting of hundreds of sensors in a building can accuratelybe deployed to monitormeasure the temperature air qual-ity light humidity door or windowrsquos openclose positionand occupancy accurately [8] Occupancy sensors can beinstalled to automatically switch the HVAC and lighting sys-tem in accordance with the occupancy status of the buildingzones Actuator nodes in turn would have the responsibilityto control the subsystems within the building zones Energysavings can be more when the separate subsystems cooperateand communicate with each other Integration of thesesubsystems would add more sophistication to the controlsystem and it would be possible to render an intelligentsystem of Building Automation System (BAS) Enhancementof battery life of sensor nodes will naturally lead to networkavailability and system reliability

Looking at the cost factor and deployability it is seenthat the necessity of wireless BAS arises in various situations(i) when wiring is expensive and time-consuming (ii) whenit demands scalability and flexibility in the deployment ofsensoractuator nodes and (iii) when there is need forredeployment or retrofit without affecting the aestheticsof existing buildings [9] With due design considerationsand planning and by adopting appropriate implementationtechniques wireless technology can be used economicallyand efficiently The advantages of wireless technology cannotbe outweighed by the challenges like poor channel condi-tions and competition for channel access which may createunreliable and delayed communication of control and datatraffic Hence intense research efforts are needed to addressthe diverse issues in real time control of BAS over wirelessnetworks using open standards rather than proprietarystandards

The scenario of control that has been considered in thiswork is the automation of large shared spaces of commercialbuildings where big crowd occupies the space and movesfrom one space to another Occupancy pattern changesdynamically and unpredictably thus making the controlneeded for comfort and economy difficult otherwise [10]Normally the settings of the building climate control systemare to be in such a way that occupant comfort level is themaximum However this results into wastage of energy forlighting lamps coolingheating space and for air qualityassurance for unoccupied spaces also Moreover energyis wasted for overcooling and for cooling less occupiedspaces In modern approaches the building thermal zonesare divided based on the positioning of variable air volume(VAV) boxes of HVAC [11] The problem considered here isof a large shared space comprising more than one thermalzone of the building Occupancy patterns vary dynamicallyand the zones are classified into different priority classesThe requirement is that comfort level of heavily occupiedldquoprime zonesrdquo shall be maintained maximum compared tothe lightly occupied zones in concurrence with the energysaving in ldquovacantrdquolightly occupied zones In the proposed

method priority is assigned for wireless traffic of prime zonesusing quality of service (QoS) medium access control (MAC)protocol Emphasis is given to the competition among primezonesrsquos sensors belonging to the same shared space Stabilityof the closed loop control over wireless networks has beenensured while packet drops due to unreliable links existAdditionally the energy consumed by the nodes have tobe minimized to provide longer battery life and extendednetwork availability

The proposed architecture has a hierarchical structurefor communication and control and has the following fea-turesfunctionality (i) it decides the status of a particularzone based on its density and rate of change of occupancyand assigns proportional weights to the objective functionsusing fuzzy logic rule base (ii) it offers priority to the networktraffic of prime zones by QoS differentiated medium accesscontrol (MAC) via Elimination-Yield Nonpreemptive Multi-ple Access (EY-NPMA) scheme adopted withWi-Fi protocol(iii) it optimizes energy consumption and user comfort inevery zone based on occupancy using Nondominated SortedGenetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) (iv) it schedules transmitpower and sampling rates of wireless sensor nodes throughthe algorithm proposed (v) it deals with design of distributedlocal controllers to guarantee the stability of the closedloop control in presence of packet drops (due to unreliablenetwork links)

The remaining part of the paper is organized as followsa brief review of the related work is given in Section 2Architecture for an energy-efficient priority-access baseddecentralized controller for wireless BAS is described inSection 3 Sections 31ndash35 explain the fuzzy rule base forzone status selection the concept of EY-NPMA schemethe multiobjective optimization problem formulation usingNSGA-II the sensor node power scheduling algorithm forWSN and the decentralized controller design in the sequelSimulation results and discussions are described in Section 4Paper is concluded in Section 5

Elmahdi [30] introduces a general framework that converts ageneric decentralized control configuration of nonnetworkedsystems to the general setup of NCS An observer basedoutput feedback controller design problem has presented in[31] for Networked Control Systems with packet dropoutsIn this paper dynamical systems approach and the averagedwell-time method have been used Sufficient conditionsfor the exponential stability of the closed loop NCS arederived in terms of nonlinear matrix inequalities and therelation between the packet dropout rate and the stabilityof the closed loop NCS is established An observer basedoutput feedback controller design has been employed usingan iterative algorithm

In all the works reviewed above authors presented dif-ferent methods and techniques for energy saving of BAS invarious aspects However to the best of our knowledge nowork has considered energy saving potential of BAS for bothcontrol subsystem and wireless communication subsystemAlso we are not aware of anywork that deals with the stabilityaspects of NCS due to unreliable network links for dynamicoccupancy based energy management system Thus unlikethe previous works we consider the stability of the NCS inthe presence of packet losses due to unreliable wireless linksintelligent energy management and occupant comfort leveladjustments in the proposed BAS framework

3 Proposed Architecture

The large floor area is assumed to be divided into differentthermal zones based on the VAV box location Figure 1 isthe modified diagram of a building zone (Z0009) generatedusing BRCM toolbox [32] The wireless sensor networkconsists of different sensors for measuring occupancy tem-perature light and air quality The occupancy and its flowrate can be measured accurately using sensors with varyinggranular information and of implicitexplicit type [33 34]To obtain the optimum values for indoor climate basedon the occupancy rate we have formulated and solved amultiobjective optimization problem of energy consumptionand user comfort using NSGA-II [35]

The different zone categories their comfort level andenergy consumption requirements and their priorities forwireless channel access are as follows

Prime zone (P-zone) it is large occupancy levelwith a high rate of change of occupancy it needshigh comfort level and energy consumption and thehighest priority in wireless traffic accessNormal zone (N-zone) occupancy level is in theexpected range and the rate of change of occupancyis not high with moderate comfort level and energyconsumption requirements priority status is highMinimal zone (M-zone) occupancy is lower with asmall rate of change of occupancy it requires themin-imum comfort level and lower energy consumptionwith low priority statusVacant zones (V-zone) it is almost zero or of very lowoccupancy with the least rate of change in occupancy

Controller gains are obtained via solving linear matrixinequalities (LMIs) through semidefinite programming(SDP) [42] Resources available for climate control withina zone are termed as ldquoown resourcesrdquo and those availablein nearby zones are termed as ldquoneighboring resourcesrdquoIn several circumstances based on the demand for quickresponse in comfort control the adjacent vacant or minimalzonesrsquo resources also should be utilized along with the primezonesrsquo resources [25] Control and tracking of neighboring

resources are entrusted with central coordinatorcontrolmodule The sequence of functions of the proposed architec-ture is shown in the steps as follows

(1) activate WSN(2) compute occupancy and change in occupancy using

advanced occupancy sensors(3) categorize the shared space area into P N M and V

zones and set the sample rates using fuzzy inferenceengine Assign priority to sensors among equal statuszones via EY-NPMA and run the optimization algo-rithm (NSGA-II) at centralized controlcoordinator

(4) select the appropriate gains of distributed controllervia SDP to operate the actuator at the optimized setpoint values switch nodes to the appropriate powerlevels using algorithm run at nodes

31 Fuzzy Logic Inference Engine The density of occupancyand change of density are the inputs to the proposed fuzzyrule engineThe outputs of the fuzzy system are the zone pri-orities and their sampling rates and weights to the objectivefunctions of the optimization blockThe output of each rule iscalculated by the rule evaluation method (REM) [37] and theresults aremapped to a consequence classTheweight outputscorresponding to occupancy status from fuzzy block are givento the optimization algorithm for selecting optimum comfortlevel settings for various zones while keeping the energyconsumption rate low Tables 1 and 2 show the fuzzy rules

Figure 3 EY-Wi-Fi access mechanism

EY-NPMA [40] enabled Wi-Fi (EY-Wi-Fi) rather than IEEE80211e because of the ability of the former one to furtherdifferentiate the sensors among the same priority class zones

Zones belonging to the same priority class need to befurther prioritized based on the rate of change of occupancyOnly the nodes with equal priorities compete in the elimina-tion phase (second phase)They try tomake the channel busyby transmitting a burst signal of random lengthThose nodesthat do not transmit for the longest duration are eliminatedIn the yield phase (third phase) the nodes that send the burstsignal earliest win the contention and start the data packettransmission The channel access mechanism of EY-NPMAis shown in Figure 3 In this figure we have considered threeP-zones (1199111 1199112 and 1199113) contending for the channel accessWith all three being prime zones they possess equal prioritystatus with the same CWmin (contention windowminimum)and AIFS (arbitrary interframe space) values and enter intothe elimination phase by the transmission of assertion slot Inthe elimination phase 1199111 and 1199113 have the same burst lengthlonger than that of 1199112 so they move into the yield phase Inthe yield phase 1199113 wins the contention and starts data packettransmission as it transmits the shorter yield burst sequencecompared to that of 1199111 Priority can be assigned among N-zones or M-zones in a similar way

33 Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II)The main objectives of the proposed intelligent control ofbuilding space over wireless network are (i) to minimize thetotal energy consumption of the building space comprisingmultiple thermal zones with dynamic occupancy and (ii) tomaximize the comfort level of occupants of the zones throughmaintaining a desirable climate NSGA-II is a multiobjectiveevolutionary algorithm capable of finding multiple Pareto-optimal solutions in a single stretch of simulation itself ThePareto-optimal front presents a number of viable solutionsfor the multiobjective problem which cannot optimize allthe objectives simultaneously NSGA-II has the advantages oflow computational requirements and elitism as compared toNSGA [35] Once the population (solution set) is initializedthe population is sorted based on nondomination into eachfront Each solution is assigned a fitness (or rank) equal toits nondomination level (1 is the best level 2 is the next-bestlevel and so on) Thus minimization of fitness is assumed

with the first front being completely nondominant set in thecurrent population and the second front being dominated bythe individuals in the first front only and thus each frontis formed in this manner NSGA-II algorithm working isdepicted in Figure 4

In addition to fitness value a parameter called crowdingdistance is calculated for each individual The crowdingdistance is a measure of how close an individual is to itsneighbors Large average crowding distance will result inbetter diversity in the population Parents are selected fromthe population by using binary tournament selection basedon the rank and crowding distance An individual is selectedif the rank is lesser than that of the others or if crowding

distance is greater among the individuals in the same front towhich it belongsThe selected population generates offspringsfrom crossover and mutation operators The population withthe current population and current offsprings is sorted againbased on nondomination and only the best 119873 individualsare selected where 119873 is the population size The selection isbased on the rank and the on the crowding distance on thelast front Following [43] the first objective ofminimizing thetotal energy consumption can be expressed as follows

4 Simulation Results and Discussion

Performance evaluation using simulation for fuzzy rule baseEY-Wi-Fi NSGA-II and controllers are discussed in thissection Fuzzy logic rules were framed to find zone status andweights based on the current occupancy status Simulationwas done using FIS editor of MATLAB Figures 7-8 show theoccupancy and change of occupancy as the input variableswith trapezoidal and triangular membership functions andweight andpriority as the output variableswith triangular andsingleton output membership functions depicted in Figures9-10 respectively

NSGA-II algorithm simulation was done in MATLABwith the parameters given in Table 4 The curve fittinghas been done for obtaining the energy function basedon the data given in [50] The zonersquos various sensor refer-ence values are taken as 70 (K) 750 (lux) and 800 (ppm)respectively Figures 11ndash13 show simulation results for P Nand V zones with energy consumption versus ODF Pareto-optimal fronts In P-zone discomfort values are smaller (highuser comfort value) and power consumption is higher thanthat of other zones The power consumption is reducedin normalminimalvacant zones at the cost of increasein occupant discomfort factor From the obtained Pareto-optimal front values we can choose the desired parameter set

values corresponding to the occupancy status of the zonesThe whole buildingrsquos energy consumption and user comfortcan be obtained through the summation of individual zonesrsquoenergy consumption and user comfort functions Energysaving of the proposed architecture is found varying basedon the variation in occupancy levels

For illustrating the claim zones shown in Figure 1 arecategorized into prime zone (maximum power consumption119875max = 48KW) normal activity zone (119875max = 37KW) andvacant zone (119875max = 13KW) obtained from the Pareto-fronts depicted in the figures while selecting the valuescorresponding to the maximum occupant comfort levelObtain 31 of energy savings compared with the case inwhich all the zones were treated as prime zones

Implementation of EY-Wi-fi [41] in ns-3 simulator [51]was used for performance evaluation of channel accessprotocol The protocol parameters were chosen followingthe study in [52] The channel access for the case of fournodes is shown in Figure 14 The plots show the durationof transmission for each node (ldquoONrdquo represents channellisteningreceiving and ldquoOFFrdquo represents transmission) withtime Node 2 belonging to a prime zone in Figure 14 has thelongest elimination burst and survives to the yield period

Node 2 wins the contention in yield phase also and begins itsdata packet transmission At the end of the transmission ofnode 2 node 1 which belongs to another prime zone triesto gain access to the channel again It sends a burst signalof longer sequence now and thus it wins the contention andstarts data packet transmission In this fashion all the nodestransmit their data Comparison of the performance of IEEE80211e and EY-Wi-Fi is shown in Figures 15-16 respectivelyProbability of a node to win the contention using 80211e is01726 and the probability of collision is obtained as 01465But the probability of a node to win the contention using EY-Wi-Fi is 04630with a probability of collision equaling 00841Hence the performance of EY-Wi-Fi is found better

The distributed and decentralized controllers were testedusing randomly generated matrices for1198608times8 and 1198618times3 (whichcould not be included due to space limitation) The perfor-mance of the proposed controllers was evaluated throughsimulation using WIDE toolbox [53] in MATLAB platformNetwork topology with three unreliable links and networktopology with six unreliable links were considered Theperformance indices taken are the minimum cost 119869 in (16) toreach the stable equilibrium state of the system and the CPUtime (in seconds) expended for that

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also

Occupancy pattern extraction and prediction in an intel-ligent inhabited environment are addressed in [24]The dailybehavioral patterns of the occupant are extracted using awireless sensor network and a recurrent dynamic networkprediction model is built with feedback connections enclos-ing several layers of a Nonlinear Autoregressive Networkwith Exogenous (NARX) inputs network and authors claimedbetter prediction results Sookoor and Whitehouse in [10]presented an occupancy based room level zoning of a cen-tralized HVAC system usingWSAN and a 15 energy savinghas been reported through experimental verification Zhouet al [25] developed a demand-based supervisory control torealize temperature control only for occupied zones whileconsidering the thermal coupling between occupied andunoccupied zones

The design of decentralized Networked Control Systemshas been considered in [28] It explains the methods tohandle the effects of packet dropouts transmission delaysand so forth with the decentralized NCS design Donkers etal analyse the stability of the NCS based on stochasticallytime-varying discrete-time switched linear system frame-work in [29] They have provided conditions for stability inthe mean square sense using a convex over approximationand a finite number of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)

Elmahdi [30] introduces a general framework that converts ageneric decentralized control configuration of nonnetworkedsystems to the general setup of NCS An observer basedoutput feedback controller design problem has presented in[31] for Networked Control Systems with packet dropoutsIn this paper dynamical systems approach and the averagedwell-time method have been used Sufficient conditionsfor the exponential stability of the closed loop NCS arederived in terms of nonlinear matrix inequalities and therelation between the packet dropout rate and the stabilityof the closed loop NCS is established An observer basedoutput feedback controller design has been employed usingan iterative algorithm

In all the works reviewed above authors presented dif-ferent methods and techniques for energy saving of BAS invarious aspects However to the best of our knowledge nowork has considered energy saving potential of BAS for bothcontrol subsystem and wireless communication subsystemAlso we are not aware of anywork that deals with the stabilityaspects of NCS due to unreliable network links for dynamicoccupancy based energy management system Thus unlikethe previous works we consider the stability of the NCS inthe presence of packet losses due to unreliable wireless linksintelligent energy management and occupant comfort leveladjustments in the proposed BAS framework

3 Proposed Architecture

The large floor area is assumed to be divided into differentthermal zones based on the VAV box location Figure 1 isthe modified diagram of a building zone (Z0009) generatedusing BRCM toolbox [32] The wireless sensor networkconsists of different sensors for measuring occupancy tem-perature light and air quality The occupancy and its flowrate can be measured accurately using sensors with varyinggranular information and of implicitexplicit type [33 34]To obtain the optimum values for indoor climate basedon the occupancy rate we have formulated and solved amultiobjective optimization problem of energy consumptionand user comfort using NSGA-II [35]

The different zone categories their comfort level andenergy consumption requirements and their priorities forwireless channel access are as follows

Prime zone (P-zone) it is large occupancy levelwith a high rate of change of occupancy it needshigh comfort level and energy consumption and thehighest priority in wireless traffic accessNormal zone (N-zone) occupancy level is in theexpected range and the rate of change of occupancyis not high with moderate comfort level and energyconsumption requirements priority status is highMinimal zone (M-zone) occupancy is lower with asmall rate of change of occupancy it requires themin-imum comfort level and lower energy consumptionwith low priority statusVacant zones (V-zone) it is almost zero or of very lowoccupancy with the least rate of change in occupancy

The proposed architecture for wireless networked BASis shown in Figure 2 Sensor outputs for occupancy tem-perature illumination and air quality (119874119896 119879119896 119871119896 and119868119896) are forwarded to the centralized coordinatorcontrollerZonesrsquo status priority and associated weights in the objectivefunctions are determined at central fuzzy inference enginebased on the occupancy level (see Figure 2) The inputs tothe fuzzy inference engine [36 37] are occupancy density andchange of occupancy (difference between the present occu-pancy density and the previous occupancy density) obtainedfrom the processing of occupancy sensor measurementsThegateway block responsible for the prioritization of trafficthrough the network communicates the status of each zone(119878119911) to the corresponding zone coordinator node Herethe EY-NPMA scheme integrated with the Wi-Fi protocol(discussed in Section 32) imparts priority to different zoneclasses during the priority phase and to zones in the sameclass using the burst signal sequences during eliminationand yield phases The difference between the two QoS MACprotocols 80211e protocol [38] and the EY-Wi-Fi [39] isin the inclusion of the elimination phase which helps us toassign priority further among zones with the same accesscategory class at the expense of increased overhead Authorsin [40 41] established that the performance of EY-Wi-Fi isbetter than 80211e in terms of packet delay jitter and packetdelivery ratio

Controller gains are obtained via solving linear matrixinequalities (LMIs) through semidefinite programming(SDP) [42] Resources available for climate control withina zone are termed as ldquoown resourcesrdquo and those availablein nearby zones are termed as ldquoneighboring resourcesrdquoIn several circumstances based on the demand for quickresponse in comfort control the adjacent vacant or minimalzonesrsquo resources also should be utilized along with the primezonesrsquo resources [25] Control and tracking of neighboring

resources are entrusted with central coordinatorcontrolmodule The sequence of functions of the proposed architec-ture is shown in the steps as follows

(1) activate WSN(2) compute occupancy and change in occupancy using

advanced occupancy sensors(3) categorize the shared space area into P N M and V

Figure 3 EY-Wi-Fi access mechanism

EY-NPMA [40] enabled Wi-Fi (EY-Wi-Fi) rather than IEEE80211e because of the ability of the former one to furtherdifferentiate the sensors among the same priority class zones

Zones belonging to the same priority class need to befurther prioritized based on the rate of change of occupancyOnly the nodes with equal priorities compete in the elimina-tion phase (second phase)They try tomake the channel busyby transmitting a burst signal of random lengthThose nodesthat do not transmit for the longest duration are eliminatedIn the yield phase (third phase) the nodes that send the burstsignal earliest win the contention and start the data packettransmission The channel access mechanism of EY-NPMAis shown in Figure 3 In this figure we have considered threeP-zones (1199111 1199112 and 1199113) contending for the channel accessWith all three being prime zones they possess equal prioritystatus with the same CWmin (contention windowminimum)and AIFS (arbitrary interframe space) values and enter intothe elimination phase by the transmission of assertion slot Inthe elimination phase 1199111 and 1199113 have the same burst lengthlonger than that of 1199112 so they move into the yield phase Inthe yield phase 1199113 wins the contention and starts data packettransmission as it transmits the shorter yield burst sequencecompared to that of 1199111 Priority can be assigned among N-zones or M-zones in a similar way

33 Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II)The main objectives of the proposed intelligent control ofbuilding space over wireless network are (i) to minimize thetotal energy consumption of the building space comprisingmultiple thermal zones with dynamic occupancy and (ii) tomaximize the comfort level of occupants of the zones throughmaintaining a desirable climate NSGA-II is a multiobjectiveevolutionary algorithm capable of finding multiple Pareto-optimal solutions in a single stretch of simulation itself ThePareto-optimal front presents a number of viable solutionsfor the multiobjective problem which cannot optimize allthe objectives simultaneously NSGA-II has the advantages oflow computational requirements and elitism as compared toNSGA [35] Once the population (solution set) is initializedthe population is sorted based on nondomination into eachfront Each solution is assigned a fitness (or rank) equal toits nondomination level (1 is the best level 2 is the next-bestlevel and so on) Thus minimization of fitness is assumed

In addition to fitness value a parameter called crowdingdistance is calculated for each individual The crowdingdistance is a measure of how close an individual is to itsneighbors Large average crowding distance will result inbetter diversity in the population Parents are selected fromthe population by using binary tournament selection basedon the rank and crowding distance An individual is selectedif the rank is lesser than that of the others or if crowding

distance is greater among the individuals in the same front towhich it belongsThe selected population generates offspringsfrom crossover and mutation operators The population withthe current population and current offsprings is sorted againbased on nondomination and only the best 119873 individualsare selected where 119873 is the population size The selection isbased on the rank and the on the crowding distance on thelast front Following [43] the first objective ofminimizing thetotal energy consumption can be expressed as follows

4 Simulation Results and Discussion

Performance evaluation using simulation for fuzzy rule baseEY-Wi-Fi NSGA-II and controllers are discussed in thissection Fuzzy logic rules were framed to find zone status andweights based on the current occupancy status Simulationwas done using FIS editor of MATLAB Figures 7-8 show theoccupancy and change of occupancy as the input variableswith trapezoidal and triangular membership functions andweight andpriority as the output variableswith triangular andsingleton output membership functions depicted in Figures9-10 respectively

NSGA-II algorithm simulation was done in MATLABwith the parameters given in Table 4 The curve fittinghas been done for obtaining the energy function basedon the data given in [50] The zonersquos various sensor refer-ence values are taken as 70 (K) 750 (lux) and 800 (ppm)respectively Figures 11ndash13 show simulation results for P Nand V zones with energy consumption versus ODF Pareto-optimal fronts In P-zone discomfort values are smaller (highuser comfort value) and power consumption is higher thanthat of other zones The power consumption is reducedin normalminimalvacant zones at the cost of increasein occupant discomfort factor From the obtained Pareto-optimal front values we can choose the desired parameter set

values corresponding to the occupancy status of the zonesThe whole buildingrsquos energy consumption and user comfortcan be obtained through the summation of individual zonesrsquoenergy consumption and user comfort functions Energysaving of the proposed architecture is found varying basedon the variation in occupancy levels

For illustrating the claim zones shown in Figure 1 arecategorized into prime zone (maximum power consumption119875max = 48KW) normal activity zone (119875max = 37KW) andvacant zone (119875max = 13KW) obtained from the Pareto-fronts depicted in the figures while selecting the valuescorresponding to the maximum occupant comfort levelObtain 31 of energy savings compared with the case inwhich all the zones were treated as prime zones

Implementation of EY-Wi-fi [41] in ns-3 simulator [51]was used for performance evaluation of channel accessprotocol The protocol parameters were chosen followingthe study in [52] The channel access for the case of fournodes is shown in Figure 14 The plots show the durationof transmission for each node (ldquoONrdquo represents channellisteningreceiving and ldquoOFFrdquo represents transmission) withtime Node 2 belonging to a prime zone in Figure 14 has thelongest elimination burst and survives to the yield period

Node 2 wins the contention in yield phase also and begins itsdata packet transmission At the end of the transmission ofnode 2 node 1 which belongs to another prime zone triesto gain access to the channel again It sends a burst signalof longer sequence now and thus it wins the contention andstarts data packet transmission In this fashion all the nodestransmit their data Comparison of the performance of IEEE80211e and EY-Wi-Fi is shown in Figures 15-16 respectivelyProbability of a node to win the contention using 80211e is01726 and the probability of collision is obtained as 01465But the probability of a node to win the contention using EY-Wi-Fi is 04630with a probability of collision equaling 00841Hence the performance of EY-Wi-Fi is found better

The distributed and decentralized controllers were testedusing randomly generated matrices for1198608times8 and 1198618times3 (whichcould not be included due to space limitation) The perfor-mance of the proposed controllers was evaluated throughsimulation using WIDE toolbox [53] in MATLAB platformNetwork topology with three unreliable links and networktopology with six unreliable links were considered Theperformance indices taken are the minimum cost 119869 in (16) toreach the stable equilibrium state of the system and the CPUtime (in seconds) expended for that

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also

4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

Elmahdi [30] introduces a general framework that converts ageneric decentralized control configuration of nonnetworkedsystems to the general setup of NCS An observer basedoutput feedback controller design problem has presented in[31] for Networked Control Systems with packet dropoutsIn this paper dynamical systems approach and the averagedwell-time method have been used Sufficient conditionsfor the exponential stability of the closed loop NCS arederived in terms of nonlinear matrix inequalities and therelation between the packet dropout rate and the stabilityof the closed loop NCS is established An observer basedoutput feedback controller design has been employed usingan iterative algorithm

In all the works reviewed above authors presented dif-ferent methods and techniques for energy saving of BAS invarious aspects However to the best of our knowledge nowork has considered energy saving potential of BAS for bothcontrol subsystem and wireless communication subsystemAlso we are not aware of anywork that deals with the stabilityaspects of NCS due to unreliable network links for dynamicoccupancy based energy management system Thus unlikethe previous works we consider the stability of the NCS inthe presence of packet losses due to unreliable wireless linksintelligent energy management and occupant comfort leveladjustments in the proposed BAS framework

3 Proposed Architecture

The large floor area is assumed to be divided into differentthermal zones based on the VAV box location Figure 1 isthe modified diagram of a building zone (Z0009) generatedusing BRCM toolbox [32] The wireless sensor networkconsists of different sensors for measuring occupancy tem-perature light and air quality The occupancy and its flowrate can be measured accurately using sensors with varyinggranular information and of implicitexplicit type [33 34]To obtain the optimum values for indoor climate basedon the occupancy rate we have formulated and solved amultiobjective optimization problem of energy consumptionand user comfort using NSGA-II [35]

The different zone categories their comfort level andenergy consumption requirements and their priorities forwireless channel access are as follows

Prime zone (P-zone) it is large occupancy levelwith a high rate of change of occupancy it needshigh comfort level and energy consumption and thehighest priority in wireless traffic accessNormal zone (N-zone) occupancy level is in theexpected range and the rate of change of occupancyis not high with moderate comfort level and energyconsumption requirements priority status is highMinimal zone (M-zone) occupancy is lower with asmall rate of change of occupancy it requires themin-imum comfort level and lower energy consumptionwith low priority statusVacant zones (V-zone) it is almost zero or of very lowoccupancy with the least rate of change in occupancy

The proposed architecture for wireless networked BASis shown in Figure 2 Sensor outputs for occupancy tem-perature illumination and air quality (119874119896 119879119896 119871119896 and119868119896) are forwarded to the centralized coordinatorcontrollerZonesrsquo status priority and associated weights in the objectivefunctions are determined at central fuzzy inference enginebased on the occupancy level (see Figure 2) The inputs tothe fuzzy inference engine [36 37] are occupancy density andchange of occupancy (difference between the present occu-pancy density and the previous occupancy density) obtainedfrom the processing of occupancy sensor measurementsThegateway block responsible for the prioritization of trafficthrough the network communicates the status of each zone(119878119911) to the corresponding zone coordinator node Herethe EY-NPMA scheme integrated with the Wi-Fi protocol(discussed in Section 32) imparts priority to different zoneclasses during the priority phase and to zones in the sameclass using the burst signal sequences during eliminationand yield phases The difference between the two QoS MACprotocols 80211e protocol [38] and the EY-Wi-Fi [39] isin the inclusion of the elimination phase which helps us toassign priority further among zones with the same accesscategory class at the expense of increased overhead Authorsin [40 41] established that the performance of EY-Wi-Fi isbetter than 80211e in terms of packet delay jitter and packetdelivery ratio

algorithm NSGA-II (discussed in Section 33) to meet therequirements of user comfort and energy consumption ofeach zone were communicated to the local distributed con-trollers The optimized transmit power levels (119875119894) of sensornodes matching the zonersquos occupancy status and the rate ofsampling are computed at each sensor node (discussed inSection 34) The distributed local controllers are designedto ensure stability of the closed loop control system overwireless network in the case of unreliable channel conditions(discussed in Section 35)

Controller gains are obtained via solving linear matrixinequalities (LMIs) through semidefinite programming(SDP) [42] Resources available for climate control withina zone are termed as ldquoown resourcesrdquo and those availablein nearby zones are termed as ldquoneighboring resourcesrdquoIn several circumstances based on the demand for quickresponse in comfort control the adjacent vacant or minimalzonesrsquo resources also should be utilized along with the primezonesrsquo resources [25] Control and tracking of neighboring

resources are entrusted with central coordinatorcontrolmodule The sequence of functions of the proposed architec-ture is shown in the steps as follows

(1) activate WSN(2) compute occupancy and change in occupancy using

advanced occupancy sensors(3) categorize the shared space area into P N M and V

zones and set the sample rates using fuzzy inferenceengine Assign priority to sensors among equal statuszones via EY-NPMA and run the optimization algo-rithm (NSGA-II) at centralized controlcoordinator

(4) select the appropriate gains of distributed controllervia SDP to operate the actuator at the optimized setpoint values switch nodes to the appropriate powerlevels using algorithm run at nodes

(5) control and track the indoor environment using ownresources in the zone

31 Fuzzy Logic Inference Engine The density of occupancyand change of density are the inputs to the proposed fuzzyrule engineThe outputs of the fuzzy system are the zone pri-orities and their sampling rates and weights to the objectivefunctions of the optimization blockThe output of each rule iscalculated by the rule evaluation method (REM) [37] and theresults aremapped to a consequence classTheweight outputscorresponding to occupancy status from fuzzy block are givento the optimization algorithm for selecting optimum comfortlevel settings for various zones while keeping the energyconsumption rate low Tables 1 and 2 show the fuzzy rules

Figure 3 EY-Wi-Fi access mechanism

EY-NPMA [40] enabled Wi-Fi (EY-Wi-Fi) rather than IEEE80211e because of the ability of the former one to furtherdifferentiate the sensors among the same priority class zones

Zones belonging to the same priority class need to befurther prioritized based on the rate of change of occupancyOnly the nodes with equal priorities compete in the elimina-tion phase (second phase)They try tomake the channel busyby transmitting a burst signal of random lengthThose nodesthat do not transmit for the longest duration are eliminatedIn the yield phase (third phase) the nodes that send the burstsignal earliest win the contention and start the data packettransmission The channel access mechanism of EY-NPMAis shown in Figure 3 In this figure we have considered threeP-zones (1199111 1199112 and 1199113) contending for the channel accessWith all three being prime zones they possess equal prioritystatus with the same CWmin (contention windowminimum)and AIFS (arbitrary interframe space) values and enter intothe elimination phase by the transmission of assertion slot Inthe elimination phase 1199111 and 1199113 have the same burst lengthlonger than that of 1199112 so they move into the yield phase Inthe yield phase 1199113 wins the contention and starts data packettransmission as it transmits the shorter yield burst sequencecompared to that of 1199111 Priority can be assigned among N-zones or M-zones in a similar way

33 Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II)The main objectives of the proposed intelligent control ofbuilding space over wireless network are (i) to minimize thetotal energy consumption of the building space comprisingmultiple thermal zones with dynamic occupancy and (ii) tomaximize the comfort level of occupants of the zones throughmaintaining a desirable climate NSGA-II is a multiobjectiveevolutionary algorithm capable of finding multiple Pareto-optimal solutions in a single stretch of simulation itself ThePareto-optimal front presents a number of viable solutionsfor the multiobjective problem which cannot optimize allthe objectives simultaneously NSGA-II has the advantages oflow computational requirements and elitism as compared toNSGA [35] Once the population (solution set) is initializedthe population is sorted based on nondomination into eachfront Each solution is assigned a fitness (or rank) equal toits nondomination level (1 is the best level 2 is the next-bestlevel and so on) Thus minimization of fitness is assumed

with the first front being completely nondominant set in thecurrent population and the second front being dominated bythe individuals in the first front only and thus each frontis formed in this manner NSGA-II algorithm working isdepicted in Figure 4

In addition to fitness value a parameter called crowdingdistance is calculated for each individual The crowdingdistance is a measure of how close an individual is to itsneighbors Large average crowding distance will result inbetter diversity in the population Parents are selected fromthe population by using binary tournament selection basedon the rank and crowding distance An individual is selectedif the rank is lesser than that of the others or if crowding

distance is greater among the individuals in the same front towhich it belongsThe selected population generates offspringsfrom crossover and mutation operators The population withthe current population and current offsprings is sorted againbased on nondomination and only the best 119873 individualsare selected where 119873 is the population size The selection isbased on the rank and the on the crowding distance on thelast front Following [43] the first objective ofminimizing thetotal energy consumption can be expressed as follows

34 Power Scheduling inWireless Sensor Nodes TheproposedIBAS framework addresses energy efficiency of not only thecontrol subsystem but also the communication subsystemThe energy consumption of the sensor nodes is reduced by anefficient power scheduling algorithm which can increase thebattery life of sensor nodes and extend the network lifetimealso The amount of energy consumed (119864stx) for sending 119896-bit message over wireless link with a distance of betweentransmitter and receiver is [44]

Different power levels are associated with the differentoperation modes of a sensor node The power states of thenodes can be linked with the status of its zone based on theoccupancy Table 3 summarizes the details of sensor nodestates [45] Power saving in wireless networked sensor nodesis achieved using a power scheduling algorithm proposed in[46] All nodes in a P-zone are assumed to be in 1198780 statewhich is the highest power level state Some of the nodes canbe either in 1198781 or 1198782 states when the zone is with normal orminimal occupancy Most of the nodes in vacant zone are

4 Simulation Results and Discussion

Performance evaluation using simulation for fuzzy rule baseEY-Wi-Fi NSGA-II and controllers are discussed in thissection Fuzzy logic rules were framed to find zone status andweights based on the current occupancy status Simulationwas done using FIS editor of MATLAB Figures 7-8 show theoccupancy and change of occupancy as the input variableswith trapezoidal and triangular membership functions andweight andpriority as the output variableswith triangular andsingleton output membership functions depicted in Figures9-10 respectively

NSGA-II algorithm simulation was done in MATLABwith the parameters given in Table 4 The curve fittinghas been done for obtaining the energy function basedon the data given in [50] The zonersquos various sensor refer-ence values are taken as 70 (K) 750 (lux) and 800 (ppm)respectively Figures 11ndash13 show simulation results for P Nand V zones with energy consumption versus ODF Pareto-optimal fronts In P-zone discomfort values are smaller (highuser comfort value) and power consumption is higher thanthat of other zones The power consumption is reducedin normalminimalvacant zones at the cost of increasein occupant discomfort factor From the obtained Pareto-optimal front values we can choose the desired parameter set

values corresponding to the occupancy status of the zonesThe whole buildingrsquos energy consumption and user comfortcan be obtained through the summation of individual zonesrsquoenergy consumption and user comfort functions Energysaving of the proposed architecture is found varying basedon the variation in occupancy levels

For illustrating the claim zones shown in Figure 1 arecategorized into prime zone (maximum power consumption119875max = 48KW) normal activity zone (119875max = 37KW) andvacant zone (119875max = 13KW) obtained from the Pareto-fronts depicted in the figures while selecting the valuescorresponding to the maximum occupant comfort levelObtain 31 of energy savings compared with the case inwhich all the zones were treated as prime zones

Implementation of EY-Wi-fi [41] in ns-3 simulator [51]was used for performance evaluation of channel accessprotocol The protocol parameters were chosen followingthe study in [52] The channel access for the case of fournodes is shown in Figure 14 The plots show the durationof transmission for each node (ldquoONrdquo represents channellisteningreceiving and ldquoOFFrdquo represents transmission) withtime Node 2 belonging to a prime zone in Figure 14 has thelongest elimination burst and survives to the yield period

Node 2 wins the contention in yield phase also and begins itsdata packet transmission At the end of the transmission ofnode 2 node 1 which belongs to another prime zone triesto gain access to the channel again It sends a burst signalof longer sequence now and thus it wins the contention andstarts data packet transmission In this fashion all the nodestransmit their data Comparison of the performance of IEEE80211e and EY-Wi-Fi is shown in Figures 15-16 respectivelyProbability of a node to win the contention using 80211e is01726 and the probability of collision is obtained as 01465But the probability of a node to win the contention using EY-Wi-Fi is 04630with a probability of collision equaling 00841Hence the performance of EY-Wi-Fi is found better

The distributed and decentralized controllers were testedusing randomly generated matrices for1198608times8 and 1198618times3 (whichcould not be included due to space limitation) The perfor-mance of the proposed controllers was evaluated throughsimulation using WIDE toolbox [53] in MATLAB platformNetwork topology with three unreliable links and networktopology with six unreliable links were considered Theperformance indices taken are the minimum cost 119869 in (16) toreach the stable equilibrium state of the system and the CPUtime (in seconds) expended for that

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also

algorithm NSGA-II (discussed in Section 33) to meet therequirements of user comfort and energy consumption ofeach zone were communicated to the local distributed con-trollers The optimized transmit power levels (119875119894) of sensornodes matching the zonersquos occupancy status and the rate ofsampling are computed at each sensor node (discussed inSection 34) The distributed local controllers are designedto ensure stability of the closed loop control system overwireless network in the case of unreliable channel conditions(discussed in Section 35)

Controller gains are obtained via solving linear matrixinequalities (LMIs) through semidefinite programming(SDP) [42] Resources available for climate control withina zone are termed as ldquoown resourcesrdquo and those availablein nearby zones are termed as ldquoneighboring resourcesrdquoIn several circumstances based on the demand for quickresponse in comfort control the adjacent vacant or minimalzonesrsquo resources also should be utilized along with the primezonesrsquo resources [25] Control and tracking of neighboring

resources are entrusted with central coordinatorcontrolmodule The sequence of functions of the proposed architec-ture is shown in the steps as follows

(1) activate WSN(2) compute occupancy and change in occupancy using

advanced occupancy sensors(3) categorize the shared space area into P N M and V

zones and set the sample rates using fuzzy inferenceengine Assign priority to sensors among equal statuszones via EY-NPMA and run the optimization algo-rithm (NSGA-II) at centralized controlcoordinator

(4) select the appropriate gains of distributed controllervia SDP to operate the actuator at the optimized setpoint values switch nodes to the appropriate powerlevels using algorithm run at nodes

(5) control and track the indoor environment using ownresources in the zone

31 Fuzzy Logic Inference Engine The density of occupancyand change of density are the inputs to the proposed fuzzyrule engineThe outputs of the fuzzy system are the zone pri-orities and their sampling rates and weights to the objectivefunctions of the optimization blockThe output of each rule iscalculated by the rule evaluation method (REM) [37] and theresults aremapped to a consequence classTheweight outputscorresponding to occupancy status from fuzzy block are givento the optimization algorithm for selecting optimum comfortlevel settings for various zones while keeping the energyconsumption rate low Tables 1 and 2 show the fuzzy rules

Figure 3 EY-Wi-Fi access mechanism

EY-NPMA [40] enabled Wi-Fi (EY-Wi-Fi) rather than IEEE80211e because of the ability of the former one to furtherdifferentiate the sensors among the same priority class zones

Zones belonging to the same priority class need to befurther prioritized based on the rate of change of occupancyOnly the nodes with equal priorities compete in the elimina-tion phase (second phase)They try tomake the channel busyby transmitting a burst signal of random lengthThose nodesthat do not transmit for the longest duration are eliminatedIn the yield phase (third phase) the nodes that send the burstsignal earliest win the contention and start the data packettransmission The channel access mechanism of EY-NPMAis shown in Figure 3 In this figure we have considered threeP-zones (1199111 1199112 and 1199113) contending for the channel accessWith all three being prime zones they possess equal prioritystatus with the same CWmin (contention windowminimum)and AIFS (arbitrary interframe space) values and enter intothe elimination phase by the transmission of assertion slot Inthe elimination phase 1199111 and 1199113 have the same burst lengthlonger than that of 1199112 so they move into the yield phase Inthe yield phase 1199113 wins the contention and starts data packettransmission as it transmits the shorter yield burst sequencecompared to that of 1199111 Priority can be assigned among N-zones or M-zones in a similar way

33 Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II)The main objectives of the proposed intelligent control ofbuilding space over wireless network are (i) to minimize thetotal energy consumption of the building space comprisingmultiple thermal zones with dynamic occupancy and (ii) tomaximize the comfort level of occupants of the zones throughmaintaining a desirable climate NSGA-II is a multiobjectiveevolutionary algorithm capable of finding multiple Pareto-optimal solutions in a single stretch of simulation itself ThePareto-optimal front presents a number of viable solutionsfor the multiobjective problem which cannot optimize allthe objectives simultaneously NSGA-II has the advantages oflow computational requirements and elitism as compared toNSGA [35] Once the population (solution set) is initializedthe population is sorted based on nondomination into eachfront Each solution is assigned a fitness (or rank) equal toits nondomination level (1 is the best level 2 is the next-bestlevel and so on) Thus minimization of fitness is assumed

with the first front being completely nondominant set in thecurrent population and the second front being dominated bythe individuals in the first front only and thus each frontis formed in this manner NSGA-II algorithm working isdepicted in Figure 4

In addition to fitness value a parameter called crowdingdistance is calculated for each individual The crowdingdistance is a measure of how close an individual is to itsneighbors Large average crowding distance will result inbetter diversity in the population Parents are selected fromthe population by using binary tournament selection basedon the rank and crowding distance An individual is selectedif the rank is lesser than that of the others or if crowding

distance is greater among the individuals in the same front towhich it belongsThe selected population generates offspringsfrom crossover and mutation operators The population withthe current population and current offsprings is sorted againbased on nondomination and only the best 119873 individualsare selected where 119873 is the population size The selection isbased on the rank and the on the crowding distance on thelast front Following [43] the first objective ofminimizing thetotal energy consumption can be expressed as follows

34 Power Scheduling inWireless Sensor Nodes TheproposedIBAS framework addresses energy efficiency of not only thecontrol subsystem but also the communication subsystemThe energy consumption of the sensor nodes is reduced by anefficient power scheduling algorithm which can increase thebattery life of sensor nodes and extend the network lifetimealso The amount of energy consumed (119864stx) for sending 119896-bit message over wireless link with a distance of betweentransmitter and receiver is [44]

4 Simulation Results and Discussion

Performance evaluation using simulation for fuzzy rule baseEY-Wi-Fi NSGA-II and controllers are discussed in thissection Fuzzy logic rules were framed to find zone status andweights based on the current occupancy status Simulationwas done using FIS editor of MATLAB Figures 7-8 show theoccupancy and change of occupancy as the input variableswith trapezoidal and triangular membership functions andweight andpriority as the output variableswith triangular andsingleton output membership functions depicted in Figures9-10 respectively

NSGA-II algorithm simulation was done in MATLABwith the parameters given in Table 4 The curve fittinghas been done for obtaining the energy function basedon the data given in [50] The zonersquos various sensor refer-ence values are taken as 70 (K) 750 (lux) and 800 (ppm)respectively Figures 11ndash13 show simulation results for P Nand V zones with energy consumption versus ODF Pareto-optimal fronts In P-zone discomfort values are smaller (highuser comfort value) and power consumption is higher thanthat of other zones The power consumption is reducedin normalminimalvacant zones at the cost of increasein occupant discomfort factor From the obtained Pareto-optimal front values we can choose the desired parameter set

values corresponding to the occupancy status of the zonesThe whole buildingrsquos energy consumption and user comfortcan be obtained through the summation of individual zonesrsquoenergy consumption and user comfort functions Energysaving of the proposed architecture is found varying basedon the variation in occupancy levels

For illustrating the claim zones shown in Figure 1 arecategorized into prime zone (maximum power consumption119875max = 48KW) normal activity zone (119875max = 37KW) andvacant zone (119875max = 13KW) obtained from the Pareto-fronts depicted in the figures while selecting the valuescorresponding to the maximum occupant comfort levelObtain 31 of energy savings compared with the case inwhich all the zones were treated as prime zones

Implementation of EY-Wi-fi [41] in ns-3 simulator [51]was used for performance evaluation of channel accessprotocol The protocol parameters were chosen followingthe study in [52] The channel access for the case of fournodes is shown in Figure 14 The plots show the durationof transmission for each node (ldquoONrdquo represents channellisteningreceiving and ldquoOFFrdquo represents transmission) withtime Node 2 belonging to a prime zone in Figure 14 has thelongest elimination burst and survives to the yield period

Node 2 wins the contention in yield phase also and begins itsdata packet transmission At the end of the transmission ofnode 2 node 1 which belongs to another prime zone triesto gain access to the channel again It sends a burst signalof longer sequence now and thus it wins the contention andstarts data packet transmission In this fashion all the nodestransmit their data Comparison of the performance of IEEE80211e and EY-Wi-Fi is shown in Figures 15-16 respectivelyProbability of a node to win the contention using 80211e is01726 and the probability of collision is obtained as 01465But the probability of a node to win the contention using EY-Wi-Fi is 04630with a probability of collision equaling 00841Hence the performance of EY-Wi-Fi is found better

The distributed and decentralized controllers were testedusing randomly generated matrices for1198608times8 and 1198618times3 (whichcould not be included due to space limitation) The perfor-mance of the proposed controllers was evaluated throughsimulation using WIDE toolbox [53] in MATLAB platformNetwork topology with three unreliable links and networktopology with six unreliable links were considered Theperformance indices taken are the minimum cost 119869 in (16) toreach the stable equilibrium state of the system and the CPUtime (in seconds) expended for that

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also

31 Fuzzy Logic Inference Engine The density of occupancyand change of density are the inputs to the proposed fuzzyrule engineThe outputs of the fuzzy system are the zone pri-orities and their sampling rates and weights to the objectivefunctions of the optimization blockThe output of each rule iscalculated by the rule evaluation method (REM) [37] and theresults aremapped to a consequence classTheweight outputscorresponding to occupancy status from fuzzy block are givento the optimization algorithm for selecting optimum comfortlevel settings for various zones while keeping the energyconsumption rate low Tables 1 and 2 show the fuzzy rules

Figure 3 EY-Wi-Fi access mechanism

EY-NPMA [40] enabled Wi-Fi (EY-Wi-Fi) rather than IEEE80211e because of the ability of the former one to furtherdifferentiate the sensors among the same priority class zones

Zones belonging to the same priority class need to befurther prioritized based on the rate of change of occupancyOnly the nodes with equal priorities compete in the elimina-tion phase (second phase)They try tomake the channel busyby transmitting a burst signal of random lengthThose nodesthat do not transmit for the longest duration are eliminatedIn the yield phase (third phase) the nodes that send the burstsignal earliest win the contention and start the data packettransmission The channel access mechanism of EY-NPMAis shown in Figure 3 In this figure we have considered threeP-zones (1199111 1199112 and 1199113) contending for the channel accessWith all three being prime zones they possess equal prioritystatus with the same CWmin (contention windowminimum)and AIFS (arbitrary interframe space) values and enter intothe elimination phase by the transmission of assertion slot Inthe elimination phase 1199111 and 1199113 have the same burst lengthlonger than that of 1199112 so they move into the yield phase Inthe yield phase 1199113 wins the contention and starts data packettransmission as it transmits the shorter yield burst sequencecompared to that of 1199111 Priority can be assigned among N-zones or M-zones in a similar way

33 Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II)The main objectives of the proposed intelligent control ofbuilding space over wireless network are (i) to minimize thetotal energy consumption of the building space comprisingmultiple thermal zones with dynamic occupancy and (ii) tomaximize the comfort level of occupants of the zones throughmaintaining a desirable climate NSGA-II is a multiobjectiveevolutionary algorithm capable of finding multiple Pareto-optimal solutions in a single stretch of simulation itself ThePareto-optimal front presents a number of viable solutionsfor the multiobjective problem which cannot optimize allthe objectives simultaneously NSGA-II has the advantages oflow computational requirements and elitism as compared toNSGA [35] Once the population (solution set) is initializedthe population is sorted based on nondomination into eachfront Each solution is assigned a fitness (or rank) equal toits nondomination level (1 is the best level 2 is the next-bestlevel and so on) Thus minimization of fitness is assumed

with the first front being completely nondominant set in thecurrent population and the second front being dominated bythe individuals in the first front only and thus each frontis formed in this manner NSGA-II algorithm working isdepicted in Figure 4

In addition to fitness value a parameter called crowdingdistance is calculated for each individual The crowdingdistance is a measure of how close an individual is to itsneighbors Large average crowding distance will result inbetter diversity in the population Parents are selected fromthe population by using binary tournament selection basedon the rank and crowding distance An individual is selectedif the rank is lesser than that of the others or if crowding

distance is greater among the individuals in the same front towhich it belongsThe selected population generates offspringsfrom crossover and mutation operators The population withthe current population and current offsprings is sorted againbased on nondomination and only the best 119873 individualsare selected where 119873 is the population size The selection isbased on the rank and the on the crowding distance on thelast front Following [43] the first objective ofminimizing thetotal energy consumption can be expressed as follows

34 Power Scheduling inWireless Sensor Nodes TheproposedIBAS framework addresses energy efficiency of not only thecontrol subsystem but also the communication subsystemThe energy consumption of the sensor nodes is reduced by anefficient power scheduling algorithm which can increase thebattery life of sensor nodes and extend the network lifetimealso The amount of energy consumed (119864stx) for sending 119896-bit message over wireless link with a distance of betweentransmitter and receiver is [44]

Different power levels are associated with the differentoperation modes of a sensor node The power states of thenodes can be linked with the status of its zone based on theoccupancy Table 3 summarizes the details of sensor nodestates [45] Power saving in wireless networked sensor nodesis achieved using a power scheduling algorithm proposed in[46] All nodes in a P-zone are assumed to be in 1198780 statewhich is the highest power level state Some of the nodes canbe either in 1198781 or 1198782 states when the zone is with normal orminimal occupancy Most of the nodes in vacant zone are

Transition from the higher power level to lower power level isbeneficial only if the time interval 1199051198780 is large so that 119864119878(saved)is greater than 119864119878(expend)

This is applicable to the transitions between other powerstates of the sensor node State transition scheduling isdone taking several factors into consideration like energysaving and user comfort in addition to the communicationand processing abilities Transition times for discrete statetransitions are shown in Figure 6 based on the data givenin [47] Modeling of the energy consumption of differentnode components in different operation modes and statetransitions are also described in [47] In the power schedulingalgorithm shown in Algorithm 1 ldquo119874rdquo is occupancy ldquo119862rdquo is themaximum capacity of occupancy for each zone ldquo120575119874rdquo is therate of change of occupancy density ldquo119875119878119894rdquo is the sensor nodepower consumption in state 119878119894 and 119905119878119894119878119895 is the transition timefor state change from state 119878119894 to 119878119895 If the occupancy densityis very high (eg greater than 75 of the maximum capacity119862) and the change of occupancy with respect to time is alsoincreasing the thermal zone is assumed to be the status ofprime zone with high user comfort level and high energyconsumption requirements So the sensor node will be in

The set of gains which guarantees closed loop stabil-ity in the mean square sense is synthesized offline usingsemidefinite programming (SDP) in linear matrix inequality(LMI) solvers (see Figure 2) such as YALMIP at the centralcontrol module [42] Different sets of local control laws are

4 Simulation Results and Discussion

Performance evaluation using simulation for fuzzy rule baseEY-Wi-Fi NSGA-II and controllers are discussed in thissection Fuzzy logic rules were framed to find zone status andweights based on the current occupancy status Simulationwas done using FIS editor of MATLAB Figures 7-8 show theoccupancy and change of occupancy as the input variableswith trapezoidal and triangular membership functions andweight andpriority as the output variableswith triangular andsingleton output membership functions depicted in Figures9-10 respectively

NSGA-II algorithm simulation was done in MATLABwith the parameters given in Table 4 The curve fittinghas been done for obtaining the energy function basedon the data given in [50] The zonersquos various sensor refer-ence values are taken as 70 (K) 750 (lux) and 800 (ppm)respectively Figures 11ndash13 show simulation results for P Nand V zones with energy consumption versus ODF Pareto-optimal fronts In P-zone discomfort values are smaller (highuser comfort value) and power consumption is higher thanthat of other zones The power consumption is reducedin normalminimalvacant zones at the cost of increasein occupant discomfort factor From the obtained Pareto-optimal front values we can choose the desired parameter set

values corresponding to the occupancy status of the zonesThe whole buildingrsquos energy consumption and user comfortcan be obtained through the summation of individual zonesrsquoenergy consumption and user comfort functions Energysaving of the proposed architecture is found varying basedon the variation in occupancy levels

For illustrating the claim zones shown in Figure 1 arecategorized into prime zone (maximum power consumption119875max = 48KW) normal activity zone (119875max = 37KW) andvacant zone (119875max = 13KW) obtained from the Pareto-fronts depicted in the figures while selecting the valuescorresponding to the maximum occupant comfort levelObtain 31 of energy savings compared with the case inwhich all the zones were treated as prime zones

Implementation of EY-Wi-fi [41] in ns-3 simulator [51]was used for performance evaluation of channel accessprotocol The protocol parameters were chosen followingthe study in [52] The channel access for the case of fournodes is shown in Figure 14 The plots show the durationof transmission for each node (ldquoONrdquo represents channellisteningreceiving and ldquoOFFrdquo represents transmission) withtime Node 2 belonging to a prime zone in Figure 14 has thelongest elimination burst and survives to the yield period

Node 2 wins the contention in yield phase also and begins itsdata packet transmission At the end of the transmission ofnode 2 node 1 which belongs to another prime zone triesto gain access to the channel again It sends a burst signalof longer sequence now and thus it wins the contention andstarts data packet transmission In this fashion all the nodestransmit their data Comparison of the performance of IEEE80211e and EY-Wi-Fi is shown in Figures 15-16 respectivelyProbability of a node to win the contention using 80211e is01726 and the probability of collision is obtained as 01465But the probability of a node to win the contention using EY-Wi-Fi is 04630with a probability of collision equaling 00841Hence the performance of EY-Wi-Fi is found better

The distributed and decentralized controllers were testedusing randomly generated matrices for1198608times8 and 1198618times3 (whichcould not be included due to space limitation) The perfor-mance of the proposed controllers was evaluated throughsimulation using WIDE toolbox [53] in MATLAB platformNetwork topology with three unreliable links and networktopology with six unreliable links were considered Theperformance indices taken are the minimum cost 119869 in (16) toreach the stable equilibrium state of the system and the CPUtime (in seconds) expended for that

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also

In addition to fitness value a parameter called crowdingdistance is calculated for each individual The crowdingdistance is a measure of how close an individual is to itsneighbors Large average crowding distance will result inbetter diversity in the population Parents are selected fromthe population by using binary tournament selection basedon the rank and crowding distance An individual is selectedif the rank is lesser than that of the others or if crowding

34 Power Scheduling inWireless Sensor Nodes TheproposedIBAS framework addresses energy efficiency of not only thecontrol subsystem but also the communication subsystemThe energy consumption of the sensor nodes is reduced by anefficient power scheduling algorithm which can increase thebattery life of sensor nodes and extend the network lifetimealso The amount of energy consumed (119864stx) for sending 119896-bit message over wireless link with a distance of betweentransmitter and receiver is [44]

The energy expenditure needed to bring back the sensor nodefrom 1198751198781 to 1198751198780 at 1199052 is

119864119878expend =11990511987811198780 (1198751198780 + 1198751198781)

Transition from the higher power level to lower power level isbeneficial only if the time interval 1199051198780 is large so that 119864119878(saved)is greater than 119864119878(expend)

This is applicable to the transitions between other powerstates of the sensor node State transition scheduling isdone taking several factors into consideration like energysaving and user comfort in addition to the communicationand processing abilities Transition times for discrete statetransitions are shown in Figure 6 based on the data givenin [47] Modeling of the energy consumption of differentnode components in different operation modes and statetransitions are also described in [47] In the power schedulingalgorithm shown in Algorithm 1 ldquo119874rdquo is occupancy ldquo119862rdquo is themaximum capacity of occupancy for each zone ldquo120575119874rdquo is therate of change of occupancy density ldquo119875119878119894rdquo is the sensor nodepower consumption in state 119878119894 and 119905119878119894119878119895 is the transition timefor state change from state 119878119894 to 119878119895 If the occupancy densityis very high (eg greater than 75 of the maximum capacity119862) and the change of occupancy with respect to time is alsoincreasing the thermal zone is assumed to be the status ofprime zone with high user comfort level and high energyconsumption requirements So the sensor node will be in

4 Simulation Results and Discussion

Performance evaluation using simulation for fuzzy rule baseEY-Wi-Fi NSGA-II and controllers are discussed in thissection Fuzzy logic rules were framed to find zone status andweights based on the current occupancy status Simulationwas done using FIS editor of MATLAB Figures 7-8 show theoccupancy and change of occupancy as the input variableswith trapezoidal and triangular membership functions andweight andpriority as the output variableswith triangular andsingleton output membership functions depicted in Figures9-10 respectively

NSGA-II algorithm simulation was done in MATLABwith the parameters given in Table 4 The curve fittinghas been done for obtaining the energy function basedon the data given in [50] The zonersquos various sensor refer-ence values are taken as 70 (K) 750 (lux) and 800 (ppm)respectively Figures 11ndash13 show simulation results for P Nand V zones with energy consumption versus ODF Pareto-optimal fronts In P-zone discomfort values are smaller (highuser comfort value) and power consumption is higher thanthat of other zones The power consumption is reducedin normalminimalvacant zones at the cost of increasein occupant discomfort factor From the obtained Pareto-optimal front values we can choose the desired parameter set

values corresponding to the occupancy status of the zonesThe whole buildingrsquos energy consumption and user comfortcan be obtained through the summation of individual zonesrsquoenergy consumption and user comfort functions Energysaving of the proposed architecture is found varying basedon the variation in occupancy levels

For illustrating the claim zones shown in Figure 1 arecategorized into prime zone (maximum power consumption119875max = 48KW) normal activity zone (119875max = 37KW) andvacant zone (119875max = 13KW) obtained from the Pareto-fronts depicted in the figures while selecting the valuescorresponding to the maximum occupant comfort levelObtain 31 of energy savings compared with the case inwhich all the zones were treated as prime zones

Implementation of EY-Wi-fi [41] in ns-3 simulator [51]was used for performance evaluation of channel accessprotocol The protocol parameters were chosen followingthe study in [52] The channel access for the case of fournodes is shown in Figure 14 The plots show the durationof transmission for each node (ldquoONrdquo represents channellisteningreceiving and ldquoOFFrdquo represents transmission) withtime Node 2 belonging to a prime zone in Figure 14 has thelongest elimination burst and survives to the yield period

Node 2 wins the contention in yield phase also and begins itsdata packet transmission At the end of the transmission ofnode 2 node 1 which belongs to another prime zone triesto gain access to the channel again It sends a burst signalof longer sequence now and thus it wins the contention andstarts data packet transmission In this fashion all the nodestransmit their data Comparison of the performance of IEEE80211e and EY-Wi-Fi is shown in Figures 15-16 respectivelyProbability of a node to win the contention using 80211e is01726 and the probability of collision is obtained as 01465But the probability of a node to win the contention using EY-Wi-Fi is 04630with a probability of collision equaling 00841Hence the performance of EY-Wi-Fi is found better

The distributed and decentralized controllers were testedusing randomly generated matrices for1198608times8 and 1198618times3 (whichcould not be included due to space limitation) The perfor-mance of the proposed controllers was evaluated throughsimulation using WIDE toolbox [53] in MATLAB platformNetwork topology with three unreliable links and networktopology with six unreliable links were considered Theperformance indices taken are the minimum cost 119869 in (16) toreach the stable equilibrium state of the system and the CPUtime (in seconds) expended for that

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also

35 Distributed Controller Design The local distributed con-trollers in the two-tier control structure (see Figures 1 and2) are linear switched controllers The set point values aredecided by the occupancy driven optimization algorithmsrun at central control block (first-tier) The central controlleralso decides sampling rates associated with priority status ofthe zone A look up table comprising the set of gains forswitched controllers considering the network topology of thezones and all the possible wireless link reliability statuses ismaintained at the local controllers

The set of gains which guarantees closed loop stabil-ity in the mean square sense is synthesized offline usingsemidefinite programming (SDP) in linear matrix inequality(LMI) solvers (see Figure 2) such as YALMIP at the centralcontrol module [42] Different sets of local control laws are

4 Simulation Results and Discussion

Performance evaluation using simulation for fuzzy rule baseEY-Wi-Fi NSGA-II and controllers are discussed in thissection Fuzzy logic rules were framed to find zone status andweights based on the current occupancy status Simulationwas done using FIS editor of MATLAB Figures 7-8 show theoccupancy and change of occupancy as the input variableswith trapezoidal and triangular membership functions andweight andpriority as the output variableswith triangular andsingleton output membership functions depicted in Figures9-10 respectively

NSGA-II algorithm simulation was done in MATLABwith the parameters given in Table 4 The curve fittinghas been done for obtaining the energy function basedon the data given in [50] The zonersquos various sensor refer-ence values are taken as 70 (K) 750 (lux) and 800 (ppm)respectively Figures 11ndash13 show simulation results for P Nand V zones with energy consumption versus ODF Pareto-optimal fronts In P-zone discomfort values are smaller (highuser comfort value) and power consumption is higher thanthat of other zones The power consumption is reducedin normalminimalvacant zones at the cost of increasein occupant discomfort factor From the obtained Pareto-optimal front values we can choose the desired parameter set

values corresponding to the occupancy status of the zonesThe whole buildingrsquos energy consumption and user comfortcan be obtained through the summation of individual zonesrsquoenergy consumption and user comfort functions Energysaving of the proposed architecture is found varying basedon the variation in occupancy levels

For illustrating the claim zones shown in Figure 1 arecategorized into prime zone (maximum power consumption119875max = 48KW) normal activity zone (119875max = 37KW) andvacant zone (119875max = 13KW) obtained from the Pareto-fronts depicted in the figures while selecting the valuescorresponding to the maximum occupant comfort levelObtain 31 of energy savings compared with the case inwhich all the zones were treated as prime zones

Implementation of EY-Wi-fi [41] in ns-3 simulator [51]was used for performance evaluation of channel accessprotocol The protocol parameters were chosen followingthe study in [52] The channel access for the case of fournodes is shown in Figure 14 The plots show the durationof transmission for each node (ldquoONrdquo represents channellisteningreceiving and ldquoOFFrdquo represents transmission) withtime Node 2 belonging to a prime zone in Figure 14 has thelongest elimination burst and survives to the yield period

Node 2 wins the contention in yield phase also and begins itsdata packet transmission At the end of the transmission ofnode 2 node 1 which belongs to another prime zone triesto gain access to the channel again It sends a burst signalof longer sequence now and thus it wins the contention andstarts data packet transmission In this fashion all the nodestransmit their data Comparison of the performance of IEEE80211e and EY-Wi-Fi is shown in Figures 15-16 respectivelyProbability of a node to win the contention using 80211e is01726 and the probability of collision is obtained as 01465But the probability of a node to win the contention using EY-Wi-Fi is 04630with a probability of collision equaling 00841Hence the performance of EY-Wi-Fi is found better

The distributed and decentralized controllers were testedusing randomly generated matrices for1198608times8 and 1198618times3 (whichcould not be included due to space limitation) The perfor-mance of the proposed controllers was evaluated throughsimulation using WIDE toolbox [53] in MATLAB platformNetwork topology with three unreliable links and networktopology with six unreliable links were considered Theperformance indices taken are the minimum cost 119869 in (16) toreach the stable equilibrium state of the system and the CPUtime (in seconds) expended for that

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also

4 Simulation Results and Discussion

Performance evaluation using simulation for fuzzy rule baseEY-Wi-Fi NSGA-II and controllers are discussed in thissection Fuzzy logic rules were framed to find zone status andweights based on the current occupancy status Simulationwas done using FIS editor of MATLAB Figures 7-8 show theoccupancy and change of occupancy as the input variableswith trapezoidal and triangular membership functions andweight andpriority as the output variableswith triangular andsingleton output membership functions depicted in Figures9-10 respectively

NSGA-II algorithm simulation was done in MATLABwith the parameters given in Table 4 The curve fittinghas been done for obtaining the energy function basedon the data given in [50] The zonersquos various sensor refer-ence values are taken as 70 (K) 750 (lux) and 800 (ppm)respectively Figures 11ndash13 show simulation results for P Nand V zones with energy consumption versus ODF Pareto-optimal fronts In P-zone discomfort values are smaller (highuser comfort value) and power consumption is higher thanthat of other zones The power consumption is reducedin normalminimalvacant zones at the cost of increasein occupant discomfort factor From the obtained Pareto-optimal front values we can choose the desired parameter set

values corresponding to the occupancy status of the zonesThe whole buildingrsquos energy consumption and user comfortcan be obtained through the summation of individual zonesrsquoenergy consumption and user comfort functions Energysaving of the proposed architecture is found varying basedon the variation in occupancy levels

For illustrating the claim zones shown in Figure 1 arecategorized into prime zone (maximum power consumption119875max = 48KW) normal activity zone (119875max = 37KW) andvacant zone (119875max = 13KW) obtained from the Pareto-fronts depicted in the figures while selecting the valuescorresponding to the maximum occupant comfort levelObtain 31 of energy savings compared with the case inwhich all the zones were treated as prime zones

Implementation of EY-Wi-fi [41] in ns-3 simulator [51]was used for performance evaluation of channel accessprotocol The protocol parameters were chosen followingthe study in [52] The channel access for the case of fournodes is shown in Figure 14 The plots show the durationof transmission for each node (ldquoONrdquo represents channellisteningreceiving and ldquoOFFrdquo represents transmission) withtime Node 2 belonging to a prime zone in Figure 14 has thelongest elimination burst and survives to the yield period

Node 2 wins the contention in yield phase also and begins itsdata packet transmission At the end of the transmission ofnode 2 node 1 which belongs to another prime zone triesto gain access to the channel again It sends a burst signalof longer sequence now and thus it wins the contention andstarts data packet transmission In this fashion all the nodestransmit their data Comparison of the performance of IEEE80211e and EY-Wi-Fi is shown in Figures 15-16 respectivelyProbability of a node to win the contention using 80211e is01726 and the probability of collision is obtained as 01465But the probability of a node to win the contention using EY-Wi-Fi is 04630with a probability of collision equaling 00841Hence the performance of EY-Wi-Fi is found better

The distributed and decentralized controllers were testedusing randomly generated matrices for1198608times8 and 1198618times3 (whichcould not be included due to space limitation) The perfor-mance of the proposed controllers was evaluated throughsimulation using WIDE toolbox [53] in MATLAB platformNetwork topology with three unreliable links and networktopology with six unreliable links were considered Theperformance indices taken are the minimum cost 119869 in (16) toreach the stable equilibrium state of the system and the CPUtime (in seconds) expended for that

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also

4 Simulation Results and Discussion

Performance evaluation using simulation for fuzzy rule baseEY-Wi-Fi NSGA-II and controllers are discussed in thissection Fuzzy logic rules were framed to find zone status andweights based on the current occupancy status Simulationwas done using FIS editor of MATLAB Figures 7-8 show theoccupancy and change of occupancy as the input variableswith trapezoidal and triangular membership functions andweight andpriority as the output variableswith triangular andsingleton output membership functions depicted in Figures9-10 respectively

NSGA-II algorithm simulation was done in MATLABwith the parameters given in Table 4 The curve fittinghas been done for obtaining the energy function basedon the data given in [50] The zonersquos various sensor refer-ence values are taken as 70 (K) 750 (lux) and 800 (ppm)respectively Figures 11ndash13 show simulation results for P Nand V zones with energy consumption versus ODF Pareto-optimal fronts In P-zone discomfort values are smaller (highuser comfort value) and power consumption is higher thanthat of other zones The power consumption is reducedin normalminimalvacant zones at the cost of increasein occupant discomfort factor From the obtained Pareto-optimal front values we can choose the desired parameter set

The results of 30 simulation runs are tabulated in Table 5The distributed stochastic controllers have got a higherperformance cost value as the network links become moreand more unreliable That is more control effort is neededto bring back the system to the stable equilibrium state whenthe unreliability is increased Figures 17-18 show the poles ofthe system obtained by the synthesis of distributed stochasticcontrollers with two topologies Initially the systemwasmadeunstable with one pole lying outside the unit circle Openloop poles are marked using ldquotimesrdquo and closed loop poles aremarked using ldquo0rdquoTheCPU time required to solve SDP to finddecentralized controller gains which guarantee stability alsoshoots up if there are more number of unreliable links Wehave run the simulation on Intel i5 25 GHz processor with4GB RAM

Even though the performance of the proposed techniquescould not be evaluated on experimental basis as that of nowwe believe firmly that the proposed methods can achieveenergy savings in the wirelessly networked building zoneswith varying dynamic occupancy patterns

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also

5 Conclusion

In this paper a new architecture of CPS for occupancybased wireless networked Intelligent Building AutomationSystem has been proposed with the objectives to maxi-mize the occupant comfort and minimize the total energyconsumption The proposed architecture is suitable for thedynamically varying occupancy patterns in the shared spacesof commercial buildings Fuzzy logic system and NSGA-II are used to identify the prime zones (where higheroccupancy with large variation occurs) and to optimize theenergy requirement of zones EY-NPMA scheme with 80211wireless LAN enables us to prioritize prime zonesrsquo traffic andhence minimize the channel access delay The distributedlocal controller design ensures stability of system even inthe presence of unreliable network links More efforts areneeded to incorporate estimation algorithms for occupancybased demand control of intelligent building automationIn future we plan to include the design and analysis ofmodel predictive controllers and investigating a suitablemathematical thermal model of building zones also
