Analysis of 5G Cellular Network and 802.11 for Industrial Automation

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.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
