FPGA-based Baseband Solution for High Performance Industrial Wireless Communication

Abstract

Recently, the wireless commuication system development driven by the ongoing Industry 4.0 (I40) and Indusrial Internet of Thing (IIoT) has been growing enormously. In industrial automation and manufacturing, closed-loop control applications are commonly used, which require completely new solutions to achieve latencies of 1ms with extremely high reliability and stringent requirements on message timing and repetitive packet losses. A hardware-based solution for baseband signal processing aiming at such challenges is introduced in this work. With a novel design and integration of the baseband signal processing blocks, the key highlights of this solution are a) multi-user support, b) simple and flexible integration in the industrial application, c) low hardware overhead, and d) high data throughput with low latency.
