A Channel Measurement Campaign for mmWave Communication in Industrial Settings

Industry 4.0 relies heavily on wireless technologies. Energy efficiency and device cost have played a significant role in the initial design of such systems for industry automation. However, high reliability, throughput, low latency are also key certain sectors as manufacturing industry. In this sense, existing solutions industrial settings limited. Emerging technologies millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication highly promising to address bottleneck. Still, propagation characteristics at frequencies harsh not well understood. Related work area is limited isolated measurements specific scenarios. work, we carry out an extensive measurement campaign representative environments. Most importantly, derive statistical link-level distributions channel parameters widely accepted mmWave model IEEE 802.11 ad that fit these This can be beneficial understand performance typical settings. Beyond analyzing discussing insights, with article share our dataset community.
