Description
In this presentation, we examine the current applications of wireless Operational Technology (OT) networks and explore the potential of both 5G and a sneak peek into 6G as wireless communication technologies ready to meet the demanding communication needs of Industry 5.0 applications. We showcase the capabilities of a 5G campus network deployed within indoor factory floor scenarios, leveraging the latest advancements from the commercially available 3GPP release-16. By conducting an extensive measurement campaign, we acquire detailed insights into various aspects including coverage maps, reference signal power, channel quality indicators, and throughput. Moreover, we analyze end-to-end delay measurements across different channel conditions, considering 5G quality of service priorities and varying traffic loads. This comprehensive analysis aids in shaping a potential trajectory for the digitalization of industries, ushering in a realm of cyber-physical continuity that necessitates precise communication to enable seamless end-to-end services. Drawing from the insights of the EU project DETERMINISTIC6G, we tackle this challenge through a novel architecture that integrates Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and Deterministic Networking (DetNet). This architecture also incorporates data-driven network performance awareness and the concept of digital twins to enable determinism and enhance safety within 6G networks. In conclusion, we offer a glimpse into the future by exploring the integration of environmental awareness into communication links. This integration holds the promise of advancing the deterministic and reliable behavior of wireless communication within controlled environments.| Period | 10 Sept 2023 |
