Lehrstuhl Informatik 4 Thema: On the Benefits of Cooperation for Dependable Wireless Communications Abstract: The emerging Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) improves flexibility, productivity, and costs of industrial processes by connecting sensors, actuators, and controllers to each other and the Internet. On the factory floor, such interconnections increasingly rely on wireless communications, reducing deployment and maintenance costs while supporting the mobility of communication partners. The industrial domain, however, is mainly characterized by safety- and mission-critical Machine-to-Machine communication. Therefore, state-of-the-art wireless communication protocols for home and business environments, such as WLAN and Bluetooth, are not suited for the IIoT. Consequently, the IIoT requires dependable wireless communication, achieving both high reliability and low latency. A promising approach for so-called Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) in the IIoT is cooperative diversity, since the participating stations already collaborate toward a common goal, i. e., keeping the industrial process running. There, a sending station exploits multiple independent transmission paths via cooperating relays to convey a packet to its destination reliably. In contrast to spatial diversity, this approach also works with single-input single-output transceivers. However, when considering relaying for URLLC, it is particularly challenging that all participants have to share the scarce transmission resources. Hence, in this talk, we investigate various mechanisms enabling dependable wireless communication, i. e., increasing communication reliability within a bounded low latency, where we mainly focus on the benefits of cooperative diversity. Therefore, we explore different design options for URLLC and evaluate them, leveraging the advantages of different methodological approaches. This talk thus offers valuable insights into designing communication protocols with challenging requirements. At the example of cooperation, we thoroughly retrace the development process from analysis to prototypical deployment. On the one hand, the achieved results contribute to URLLC for the IIoT; on the other hand, they provide a critical examination of the selected evaluation methodologies.
