Applications Enabled by a Deterministic Wireless Communication System Such as Industrial LTE

Abstract— Current industrial communication systems rely heavily on communication cables to transmit information and control signals. Wireless networks are emerging on the factory level with non-real-time requirements. The needed cable for deterministic real-time communication hinders the development and deployment of various applications in the production environment. Some of these applications might be an integral part in solving the challenges of future production. Along with a description of a wireless communication system, various examples for enabled applications are presented in this paper.
