Journal ArticleDOI
A Survey on 5G Networks for the Internet of Things: Communication Technologies and Challenges
TL;DR: A comprehensive review related to emerging and enabling technologies with main focus on 5G mobile networks that is envisaged to support the exponential traffic growth for enabling the IoT.
Journal ArticleDOI
IR-UWB-Based Non-Line-of-Sight Identification in Harsh Environments: Principles and Challenges
B J Silva,Gerhard P. Hancke +1 more
TL;DR: A measurement campaign using 802.15.4a radios shows that the non-line-of-sight condition can be accurately identified if adequate models for such an environment are used and principles and challenges of non-lines of sight identification in industrial scenarios are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Link Quality Characterization of Wireless Sensor Networks for Underground Monitoring
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the link quality characteristics of the three communication channels available in WUSNs for underground pipeline monitoring to gain further insight into protocol development for underground sensor networks.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Experimental study of UWB-based high precision localization for industrial applications
TL;DR: Results from measurement campaigns reveal that for line-of-sight (LOS) scenarios 11 cm accuracy and 2 cm precision without any postprocessing are possible, hence demonstrating the capability of accurate UWB-based localization using trilateration, resulting in a fast and non-complex algorithm that provides high precision positioning.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Machine-to-Machine: Possible applications in industrial networks
TL;DR: Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks can potentially be integrated into the industrial network to expand on the benefits of industrial networking through the access and distribution of additional information.
