Abstract
The demonstrator described in this work shows wireless multi-path communication to enable Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) for mobile industrial applications in demanding scenarios, that implement closed-loop control systems in a cloud-native manner. We show mobile vehicles that are coordinated precisely through an intersection, controlled by a central entity located in an edge cloud. In order to ensure seamless operation, the connection to the controller needs to be ultra-reliable and with low latency, otherwise the mobile vehicles may crash. To enable this we use a WiFi network as well as a Non Public Network (NPN) of the 5th Generation of cellular mobile communications (5G) network in parallel to increase robustness against delays and losses on each individual link. The audience can experience the benefits of multi-path communication by interacting with the demonstration.
