Exploring the most challenging radio environments for mission critical IIoT communication

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications require extremely reliable, wireless communication technologies able to operate under quite challenging radio conditions. Understanding aspects of radio wave propagation, such as path loss, power delay profile, reflection, scattering and delay spread in such environments is an important step in developing appropriate technologies. This talk will shortly introduce a test setup to characterize radio wave propagation of the most challenging radio environments and present some first findings from analysing industrial machine-to-machine and vehicle-to-vehicle communication scenarios.
