Focus

Wireless communications emerge as an enabling technology for facilitating industrial system communications by providing high flexibility, ease of reconfiguration, and lower installation costs. Reliability and latency in industrial wireless network applications are essential. Industrial wireless environments can be harsh and demanding due to physical layout, objects deployed, and interference. In mission-critical industrial applications, signal and data transmission loss and retransmissions would not be allowed. Thus, expected wireless system performance must be appropriately managed, quantified, measured, and assessed to maximize user benefits and widen the adoption of wireless technology in factory automation and industrial environments.

Topics under this session include:

  • Industrial Wireless test and evaluation methods
  • Wireless Evaluation and Standardization
  • Advanced wireless protocols and reliability and latency enhancements
  • Wireless reliability and latency performance evaluation studies
  • Wireless systems for time-critical applications
  • Wireless platforms for performance testing
  • Electromagnetic environment monitoring and management
  • Interference measurement and modeling
  • Real-world industrial wireless testbeds and demonstrations
  • Robust and Resilience Wireless Modulation and Protocols
  • Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools
