Title: A Comparison between 5G and WiFi-6 in Industrial Application
Department: HMS Labs
Size: 1-4 students
Scope: 5G mobile network, WiFi-6
Description: There is an increasing interest in integrating wireless technology in industrial applications. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR or Industry 4.0) is the ongoing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices, using modern smart technology such as AGVs and other mobile machines. The challenge is, in an industrial environment with many objects that block radio signals such as; machines with metal parts, walls, etc., it is difficult to access wireless devices. Both 5G and WiFi-6 technologies trying to address this problem. The goal of this project is to design and develop a set of scientific experiments to test, evaluate, and compare 5G with WiFi-6 technologies' performance in an industrial environment.
The project should consider below criteria :
- Study state-of-the-art in industrial 5G, WiFi-6, Industry 4.0,
- Design and develop experiments to compare 5G with WiFi-6
- Present the findings of the project in an easy-to-understand way including graphs and figures
The project and scope can be adjusted to the size of the group and the participants.
Prerequisites:
Bachelor or master program within computer science, or similar. Basic knowledge about radio communication is required.
