Abstract:
Over the last decade, Industry 4.0 has become a leading paradigm in industrial automation. However, the increasing mobility of automatic robots and devices, as well as flexibility in installation mandates more and more to replace cables by wireless communication systems. In the past, several such solutions have been proposed, among them 5G Rel16 being the most important one addressing ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) features. Nevertheless, alternative solutions are of interest due to complexity and cost reasons. In collaboration with the industrial partner VAHLE (www.vahle.com) and under supervision of KTH stockholm, by conducting on-site measurements on the slotted microwave guides provided by VAHLE using our software-define radio (SDR) setup with well-designed automation scripts, taking aspects of layer 1, 2 and 3, our objective is to gather valuable data by conducting measurements on the slotted microwave guide (SMG) for VAHLE in order to explore a URLLC solution that meets well-defined requirements regarding the round-trip delay, packet loss rates, payload size, and data throughput.
