Abstract:
Reliable wireless communication is crucial to current and future industrial applications, but is however not
yet applicable in many scenarios. Thus novel approaches are being investigated at the moment, from which
three physical (PHY) layer technologies are depicted for detailed evaluation in this paper. Preceding the
performance analysis, industrial application requirements and constraints as spatial extent, number of nodes,
cycle time, PER and user data length are summarized. Error rates and coverage ranges are calculated and
presented for Ultra Wide Band (UWB), Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and Parallel Sequence
Spread Spectrum (PSSS) assuming an AWGN channel.
