Industrial communication systems (ICS) are specifically designed for deterministic communication between sensors, actuators, programmable logic controllers, monitoring systems, and operator workstations. These networks are traditionally based on wired technology and a deterministic medium access control. Nowadays, the emerging trend is the availability of wireless technology for ICS, since this leads...
Literature presents many approaches for location detection of a mobile user using IEEE 802.11b wireless communication standard; generally localisation is limited to indoor scenarios, where GPS cannot be used, and is based on pattern matching algorithm. The paper aims to reach two different goals. The first is the proposal of the use of IEEE 802.11b standard for outdoor location detection; this choice...
This article presents a case-study on the utilization of the mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) relying on the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol in control applications. The effects of the: a) adopted routing protocol of the network, b) number of communication nodes, c) network geographical topology, d) latency time, and e) the loss of packets and packet reordering, on the stability and performance of a prototype...
IEEE 802.15.4 is an emerging standard specifically designed for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPAN) with a focus on enabling the wireless sensor networks. It attempts to provide a low data rate, low power, and low cost wireless networking on the device-level communication. In this paper, we have established a realistic environment for the preliminary performance evaluation of the IEEE...
In this contribution we present an application layer called 1394AP (1394 automation protocol) for the industrial use of the IEEE 1394 "FireWire" standard which is favorable for factory automation because of its inherently deterministic network behavior. Starting from an analysis of industrial communication requirements and an overview of the principles of IEEE 1394, it will be shown that...
