Abstract

Delay and dropout are important parameters in Networked Control System (NCS). They influence to overall control system performance. Indeed the characteristic of delay and dropout that occur in the network should be considered on NCS design as well as implementation. Global System for Mobile (GSM) technology provides alternative of wide coverage and easy deployment to lead a connection through internet network. Live performance testing of GSM networks commonly looks at the quality of service parameters, such as throughput, jitter, and packet loss. Those parameters are not sufficient for considering NCS implementation. The goal of this research is to find the properties of one-way delay and dropout of every single data packet and the performance of the High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) network. This paper will analyse the performance the delay and dropout regarding to NCS application. The delay and dropout as a function of the data size and Transmission Time Interval are analysed by observing each data packet that was sent to destination. The amount of delay and dropout are influenced by speed availability of mobile operator. The result from this test had 60 kbps average internet speed and with 800 Bytes of data size, 1000 packets transmitted on interval of 100 ms, the delay and dropout increased significantly up to 9.5 s of delay and 43% of dropout. This paper recommended data size and transmission time interval under 600 Bytes and 100 ms to keep delay and dropout at low level.
