Seamless redundancy can be profitably exploited to improve predictability of wireless networks in general and, in particular, IEEE 802.11. According to this approach, packets are transmitted by senders on two (or more) channels at the same…
The adoption of wireless communications and, in particular, Wi-Fi, at the lowest level of the factory automation hierarchy has not increased as fast as expected so far, mainly because of serious issues concerning determinism. Actually,…
By removing wire harness, Wi-Fi is becoming increasingly pervasive in every aspect of our lives, in both the consumer and industrial worlds. Besides flexibility, the recent high efficiency and extremely high throughput versions managed to…
Wireless communication is increasingly used in industrial environments, since it supports mobility of interconnected devices. Among the transmission technologies operating in unlicensed bands available to this purpose, Wi-Fi is certainly…
Seamless redundancy layered atop Wi-Fi has been shown able to tangibly increase communication quality, hence offering industry-grade reliability. However, it also implies much higher network traffic, which is often unbearable as the…
To ensure an unprecedented degree of flexibility, next-generation Industry 4.0/5.0 production plants increasingly rely on mobile devices, e.g., autonomous mobile robots and wearables. In these cases, a major requirement is getting rid of…
With significant increases in mobile device traffic slated for the foreseeable future, numerous technologies must be embraced to satisfy such demand. Notably, one of the more intriguing approaches has been blending on-device caching and…
Wireless communications are characterized by their unpredictability, posing challenges for maintaining consistent communication quality. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of various prediction models, with a focus on achieving…
Offering support for real-time communications on top of a wireless network infrastructure is both a hot topic and still an open challenge. Wireless networks are not on the same level of safety, dependability, and timeliness observed in the…
As wireless systems grow rapidly worldwide, one of the most important things, wireless systems designers and service providers faces is interference. Interference decreases coverage, capacity [1], and limits the effectiveness of both new…
The increasing need for robustness, reliability, and determinism in wireless networks for industrial and mission-critical applications is the driver for the growth of new innovative methods. The study presented in this work makes use of…
Despite much theoretical work, different modifications of backoff protocols in 802.11 networks lack empirical evidence demonstrating their real-life performance. To fill the gap we have set out to experiment with performance of exponential…
In many real-world networks the ability to synchronize is a key property for its performance. Examples include power-grid, sensor, and neuron networks as well as consensus formation. Recent work on undirected networks with diffusive…
The wireless network technology WiFi finds more and more applications in the industrial field as for the exchange of information between the people or the equipment. It has the advantage of allowing a great flexibility of the network but…
The radio spectrum is characterized by a noticeable variability, which impairs performance and determinism of every wireless communication technology. To counteract this aspect, mechanisms like Minstrel are customarily employed in real…
Interference significantly impacts the performance of industrial wireless networks, particularly n severe interference environments with dense networks reusing spectrum resources intensively. Although delicate interference information is…
Communication for control-centric industrial applications is characterized by the requirements of very high reliability, very low and deterministic latency and high scalability. Typically, IEEE 802.11-based wireless local area networks…
Wi-Fi link is unpredictable and it has never been easy to measure it perfectly; there is always bound to be some bias. As wireless becomes the medium of choice, it is useful to capture Wi-Fi traces in order to evaluate, tune, and adapt the…
With the rapid development of Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology and machine-type communications, various emerging applications appear in industrial productions and our daily lives. Among these, applications like industrial sensing and…
The ability to reliably predict the future quality of a wireless channel, as seen by the media access control layer, is a key enabler to improve performance of future industrial networks that do not rely on wires. Knowing in advance how…
