Analysis of 5G Cellular Network and 802.11 for Industrial Automation

Abstract

Wireless communication nowadays is playing a vital role in real-life data
transmission. This communication can be machine-to-machine or human to
machine communication. In each of these categories, reliability and low latency
data transmission are critical factors of success transmission in case the
number of devices in a certain area increases. In this thesis, I mainly investigate
on smart manufacturing point of view. The Main aim is to measure the
best suitable wireless technology that can satisfy the requirements for smart
manufacturing. The most recent wireless communication known as 5G has
the potential to support both accuracy and low latency communication.
In this thesis, three main parts have been introduced. The rst part
introduces a scenario which can illustrate main use cases of wireless technologies
in industrial manufacturing. The second is to establish a method
for statistical analyze in the latest generation of cellular network enabling
comparison with IEEE 802.11AC latest version. Without a tunneling technique
introduced in the method chapter industrial protocol such as Pronet
cannot be transmitted over a wireless medium.
Packet structures and several features in each technology are being considered
which in fact directly in
uence latency and reliability. Each wireless
technology will be reviewed theoretically and practically. The result of this
comparison will be given. 5G introduces special features such as diversity
in time, space and frequency. 5G also introduces a
exible packet structure
that directly enhances the ultra reliable and low latency data transmission.

Popular Abstract

Nowadays modern technology is a considerable part of human life. From day
to day usage for communication between people to massive usage in the industry.
Products that are wirelessly communicative or remotely controllable
are being extremely popular. Due to the fact that using wireless products is
extra convenient compare to the wired facilities, in most cases provide valuable
opportunities in human life with less complexity. However, designing
wireless products can be more complex and challenging.
These challenges can be a number of devices that communicate with each
other in a certain area. Wireless devices transmit and receive messages using
high-frequency signals. By increasing these signals in a certain area they can
interfere with each which has negative consequences such as the lower speed
of transmission and no reliable communication.
In this thesis, my intention is to investigate new wireless technologies
that have the capability to support an increasing number of devices and the
quality of data transmission. This investigation contains testing in a realtime
scenario to see which one of those technologies has the potential. This
investigation will face new challenges such as accessing technologies and make
them work to do our test In this article all the necessary methods have been
explained.
As a result, I will describe each technology and statistical results will
be illustrated. Meanwhile, the nest wireless technology called 5G will be
explained. This wireless technology has a structure that is
exible and the
range of frequency that it uses makes it possible to be used in various service
categories.
