This doctoral thesis investigates the operation of Networked Control Systems in Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks. It addresses the problem of Quality of Service provisioning in the presence of random packet loss. This is achieved by characterizing the physical-layer reliability of IWSN and via the derivation of link- and network-layer scheduling schemes for QoS provisioning. In this way, the communication of the entire feedback loop is supported in the presence of interference. Lastly, the relationship between QoS and the Quality of Control of NCS is characterized.
