5G (URLLC and TSN) for Industrial Automation  

 

Abstract: 

Wireless networking of industrial devices is beneficial for ease of integration, increased flexibility, mobility, and reduced cost. The 5G support for Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) will play an essential role in providing communication service to industrial applications that require fast and reliable packet delivery with high service availability. Besides URLLC, 5G integration with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) shall support deterministic wireless communication. This talk will present the technology components that enable URLLC and gives an overview of 5G integration with the TSN set of standards. Moreover, the communication requirements of industrial use cases and corresponding 5G QoS support will be the focus of the presentation.
