A D2D-Based Protocol for Ultra-Reliable Wireless Communications for Industrial Automation

As an indispensable use case for the 5G wireless systems on the roadmap, ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) is a crucial requirement for the coming era of wireless industrial automation. The key performance indicators for URLLC stand in sharp contrast to the requirements of enhanced mobile broadband: low-latency and ultra-reliability are paramount but high data rates are often not required. This paper aims to develop...
