This dissertation proposes andinvestigates an isochronous wireless network for industrial controlapplications with guaranteed latencies and jitter. Based on a requirementsanalysis of real industrial applications and the characterisation of thewireless channel, the solution approach is developed. It consists of aTDMA-based medium access control, a dynamic resource allocation and theprovision of a global time base for the wired and the wireless network. Due tothe global time base, the solution approach allows a seamless and synchronousintegration into existing wired Real-time Ethernet systems.

About the author
Dr.-Ing. Henning Trsek studied Electrical Engineering and Information
Technology at the OWL University of Applied Sciences, Lemgo, Halmstad
University, Sweden, and Aalborg University, Denmark. Afterwards he was employed
at the Institute Industrial IT (inIT) with the responsibilities of a research
group leader. At the same time he obtained his Dr.-Ing. from the
Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg. His research interests are in the area
of Smart Factories, Industrie 4.0 and Industrial Security. Currently, he is
employed at rt-solutions.de as Senior Consultant and responsible for the
Industrial Security group.
Summary
This dissertation proposes and
investigates an isochronous wireless network for industrial control
applications with guaranteed latencies and jitter. Based on a requirements
analysis of real industrial applications and the characterisation of the
wireless channel, the solution approach is developed. It consists of a
TDMA-based medium access control, a dynamic resource allocation and the
provision of a global time base for the wired and the wireless network. Due to
the global time base, the solution approach allows a seamless and synchronous
integration into existing wired Real-time Ethernet systems.
