Hybrid MAC for Low Latency Wireless Communication Enabling Industrial HMI Applications

Wireless technologies are one of the core components of the future industrial applications. They provide flexibility and scalability to the factory floor in parallel with deployment cost reduction. In our paper, we concentrate on future-oriented human-machine interaction (HMI) applications such as augmented reality (AR) or mobile control. Based on their requirements, we provide an investigation of IEEE 802.11 channel access techniques with respect to their suitability for industrial applications.
