Abstract
This paper introduces new functionalities for industrial safety applications using the wireless infrastructure of the IEEE 802.11 standard. The new amendments (n/ac/ad) for the 2.4, 5, and 60-GHz-band support additional high data rate modes, for e.g. video applications and device-to-device (D2D) communication. The huge bandwidth in the 60-GHz-band enables precise localization. However, Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) has to be used in order to guarantee fair channel access possibilities and coexistence of many devices. The access requirements are regulated (e.g. by ETSI for the European region). To cope with the uncertainty of coexistence and the special channel conditions in an industrial environment a multi-band PHY and MAC solution with multi-link-connectivity (MLC) support is introduced. This enables highly reliable low-latency wireless communication links for industrial safety applications. The simultaneous Round-Trip-Time-of-Flight (RTToF) ranging measurements enable position based features, like the introduced virtual safe zone.
