The rapid advancement of information and communications technology has brought about a remarkable transformation in industrial automation, leading to the emergence of intelligent manufacturing. Wireless communication stands as a pivotal technology in this realm, playing a crucial role in enabling the seamless integration of automation and intelligence. On the one hand, industrial automation applications demand deterministic communication with high reliability and low latency, ensuring precise control and efficient operations. On the other hand, the implementation of wireless communication in industrial environments faces numerous challenges, primarily stemming from the limited communication resources and the inherent shared and error-prone nature of wireless channels.

Limited communication resources and harsh channel conditions pose significant obstacles to reliable, real-time data transmission in industrial wireless networks. To address these challenges, resource optimization methods become essential. Traditional resource optimization approaches, which focus on optimizing individual protocol layers separately, often lead to local optima and uncontrollable performance. Therefore, there is a need for innovative approaches that consider the joint optimization of resources across multiple protocol layers.

In response to this need, this book presents comprehensive joint resource optimization methods for industrial wireless networks. It reviews recent advancements in this field, discusses practical implementations of the proposed methods, and highlights their potential benefits for scientists and researchers in industrial automation and the Industrial Internet of Things. To fully leverage the insights provided in this book, readers are advised to have a solid foundation in wireless communication, scheduling theory, and convex optimization.

The joint resource optimization methods discussed in this book offer several advantages. Firstly, they enable the efficient utilization of communication resources, ensuring that the available bandwidth is optimized for different applications and protocols. This leads to improved network performance and reduced congestion, enhancing the overall efficiency of industrial wireless networks. Secondly, the joint optimization approach considers the interdependencies between different protocol layers, taking into account the interactions between radio frequency (RF) signals, network protocols, and resource allocation. This holistic perspective ensures that the network operates as a cohesive system, maximizing the overall performance and reliability.

Furthermore, the joint resource optimization methods presented in this book can be applied to a wide range of industrial automation scenarios. From factory automation to smart grids, these methods can optimize the communication resources to support the real-time communication requirements of various industrial applications. By leveraging the power of wireless communication, industrial organizations can enhance their productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness in the global market.

In conclusion, the rapid proliferation of information and communications technology has driven a transformative shift in industrial automation toward intelligent manufacturing. Wireless communication plays a pivotal role in enabling this transition, offering high reliability and low latency for deterministic applications. However, the limited communication resources and harsh channel conditions pose significant challenges for reliable, real-time data transmission in industrial wireless networks. By adopting joint resource optimization methods across multiple protocol layers, scientists and researchers can optimize the utilization of communication resources, improve network performance, and enhance the overall efficiency of industrial wireless networks. This book provides valuable insights and practical implementations for scientists and researchers in industrial automation and the Industrial Internet of Things, paving the way for the development of more intelligent and interconnected industrial environments.
