Event-triggered control has been recently proposed as an alternative to the more traditional periodic execution of control tasks. In a typical event-triggered implementation, the control signals are kept constant until the violation of a condition on the state of the plant triggers the recomputation of the control signals. The possibility of reducing the number of recomputations, and thus of transmissions, while guaranteeing desired levels of control performance, makes event-triggered control very appealing in the context of sensor/actuator networks. In particular, by reducing the network traffic we also reduce the energy expenditures of battery powered wireless sensor nodes. In this paper we present a decentralized event-triggered implementation, over sensor/actuator networks, of centralized nonlinear controllers.
