    Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access : Is it the Multiple Access System of the Future? Srikanth S., Kumaran V. , Manikandan C., Murugesapandian AU-KBC Research center, Anna University, Chennai, India Email: [email protected] Abstract There is significant interest worldwide in the development of technologies for broadband cellular wireless (BCW) systems. One of the key technologies which is becoming the de- facto technology for use in BCW systems is the orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) scheme. In this tutorial article, we discuss the reasons for the popularity of OFDMA and outline some of the important concepts which are used in OFDMA as applied to BCW systems. We shall use the IEEE 802.16 based WiMAX standards for highlighting some of the significant ideas in the practical use of OFDMA systems. 1. Introduction Broadband Cellular Wireless (BCW) systems are expected to be rolled out in the near future to satisfy demands from various segments. As demand for mobile services continuous to grow worldwide system vendors and cellular operators have noticed the enormous popularity of 2nd generation mobile cellular systems and are keen to extend this trend to BCW systems. Several challenges exist in the development and deployment of BCW systems and research work addressing these challenges is ongoing in several labs around the world. The orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based systems are being adopted for use in different flavors of BCW systems [1]. The IEEE 802.16d and 802.16e standards which are popularly known by the industry forum name WiMAX are being considered for BCW systems and are the first standards to use the OFDMA technique [2].

The General Tire brand with its 100-year heritage is to supply tyres for the MerceDes-Benz G-Class. The German automaker recently approveD the all-terrain Grabber AT² in size LT265/75R16 for fitting to the G-Class. They can also now be orDereD via MerceDes dealers in the replacement market since they have been approveD for original equipment use. The MerceDes-Benz G-Class is one of the most recognised powerful off-roaD vehicles, so a great deal is expected of its tyres: maximum grip on stony, sandy and muddy ground, safe handling properties on the road and a highly robust performance both on and off road. “For the General Tire brand this approval is a very special seal of quality,” says Matthias Bartz, General Tire Business Development Manager for the EMEA Region. “MerceDes-Benz invariably sets the bar high in terms of the requirements of the tyres in both the original equipment anD replacement sectors. As a company with a prouD heritage in the proDuction of 4x4 tyres, we bring to the table more than a century of experience in the Development of robust tyres with strong grip, whose stanDarD of quality has now also impressed one of the leading European off-roaD vehicle manufacturers.” The Grabber AT² Displays its strengths on regular anD unpaved roaDs as well as in off-roaD use: Its highly durable rubber compound was developed with all three of these applications in mind.

In short, deploying 802.11ax-based spectrum into time-frequency resource units (RUs). In this paper, we aim at designing an 802.11ax-based dense WiFi network dense WiFi network is both crucial and urgent. There are two to provide WiFi services to a large number of users within a main factors that affect the network performance. The first given area with the following objectives: (1) to minimize the one is the AP placement. The second one is resource (such as number of access points (APs); (2) to fulfil the users’ throughput power, channel, and RU, etc.) assignment for the APs/stations. requirement; and (3) to be resistant to AP failures. We formulate Furthermore, users demand continuous WiFi services even the above into a joint AP placement and power-channel-RU assignment optimization problem, which is NP-hard. To tackle under AP’s failures [4]. Unfortunately, there is little research this problem, we first derive an analytical model to estimate each on joint AP placement and resource assignment for 802.11ax- user’s throughput under the mechanism of OFDMA and a widely based dense WiFi network with quality of service (QoS) used interference model.

  • Time-Sensitive Networking Technologies for Industrial Automation in Wireless Communication Systems
    energies Review Time-Sensitive Networking Technologies for Industrial Automation in Wireless Communication Systems Yoohwa Kang 1 , Sunwoo Lee 2, Songi Gwak 2 , Taekyeong Kim 2 and Donghyeok An 2,* 1 Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, Daejeon 34129, Korea; [email protected] 2 Department of Computer Engineering, Changwon National University, Changwon 51140, Korea; [email protected] (S.L.); [email protected] (S.G.); infi[email protected] (T.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-55-213-3814 Abstract: The fourth industrial revolution is accelerating industrial automation. In industrial net- works, manufacturing processes require hard real-time communication where the latency is less than 1ms. Time-sensitive networking (TSN) technology over Ethernet already supports deterministic de- livery for real-time communication. However, TSN technologies over wireless networks are currently in their initial development stage. Therefore, this study presents an overview of TSN research trends in wireless communications. This paper focuses on 5G networks and IEEE 802.11. We summarize standardization trends for TSN in 5G networks and introduce the TSN technologies for 802.11-based WLAN. Then, we introduce the integration scenario of 5GS with WLAN. This study provides insights into wireless communication technologies for wireless TSN.
