A Communication Model to Enhance Industrial Wireless Networks based on Time-Sensitive Networks

Abstract

With the development of intelligent manufacturing, the traditional industrial communication systems based on field bus and industrial Ethernet can hardly meet its common requirements for complexity and scalability in foreseeable future. In contrast, industrial wireless network is not mature yet, and there are still plenty of problems in velocity, stability, security and other aspects. In this paper, a communication model to enhance the comprehensive performance of industrial wireless networks is proposed based on existing scheduling methods of Time-sensitive networks. The model is composed of 3 parts, each of which specifically solves one of the above problems. This research provides research ideas for building a safer and faster wireless communication system for industrial applications.
