  title = {Wireless Digital Control of Continuous Passive Plants Over Token Ring Networks},
  abstract = {In a recent paper we have shown how wave variables can be used to interconnect passive plants with passive controllers such that the system remains l2-stable in spite of time-varying delays and data dropouts. The present paper further enhances these results by providing a detailed model that captures time-varying delays, data dropouts and network capacity for wireless ring token networks. It also provides a new theorem showing how an asynchronous controller can be implemented, which maintains an l2-stable system. Simulations show that the asynchronous control of a passive motor reduces the overall distortion when compared with a synchronous controller which relies on lossy data reduction techniques. These two distinct results pave the way to study high-performance rate-adaptive control schemes that minimize their control rate in order to match the network capacity.},
