A Methodology for the Analysis of 802.11a Links in Industrial Environments
Overview Wireless solutions are becoming more and more attractive for the communication systems of manufacturing plants. If the advantages of wireless are clear and have been extensively discussed, also the drawbacks need to be considered and, among them, the impact of an industrial environment on error rate and throughput of the wireless links. These performance aspects get even more critical when developing wireless solutions for safety-critical industrial communications and using off-the-shelf components. This paper presents a methodology and software tool aimed at analyzing WLAN channel behaviors and is applied to evaluate the use of 802.11a consumer chipsets for a typical safety critical industrial plant application.
