Background
The deployment of wired fieldbuses substantially contributes to the costs of large industrial plants, for example concentrated solar power plants with diameters of several hundred meters. In order to reduce these costs, efforts are being made to replace wired fieldbuses by wireless solutions. Thereby, it is essential to maintain reliability and real-time capabilities to prevent damage and retain efficiency. Today, cellular networks are widely used for communication. Our smartphones are connected among each other and to the internet via a world- wide cellular network. Originating from speech communication, today’s cellular networks are equally suited for data transmission, so they might be a suitable option for the aforementioned application.
Work Description
The purpose of the advertised thesis is to analyze existing technologies for cellular communication and assess their suitability for industrial applications. Relevant are standards for mobile phones (UMTS, LTE...). By analyzing the respective documents and running simulations, the thesis should answer questions such as
How many clients can be distributed in an area of one square kilometer, if we want to collect 100 byte of data every 5 minutes from each client?
Prerequisites
- Interest in wireless communication techniques and analyzing the respective documents
- Basic knowledge about communication systems (e.g. the difference of TDMA and FDMA)
- Basic knowledge of the C++ programming language
