NIST Industrial Wireless Systems Team Member Presents on Real-time and Mission-critical Wireless Systems

NIST Industrial Wireless Systems team member Mohamed Kashef (Hany) presented on real-time and mission-critical wireless systems in an invited panel session at AraFest’24 on August 27, 2024. Dr. Hany provided opening remarks on “Industrial Wireless Systems and the IEEE P3388 Standard for Wireless Systems Performance Assessment,” focusing on the importance of understanding wireless aggressors in industrial settings and how to evaluate wireless performance in operational scenarios. Hany covered the IEEE P3388 standard for performance assessment of industrial wireless systems and gave an overview of the NIST industrial wireless system laboratory capabilities to support the standard development. Hany further contributed to the panel discussion by describing the challenges for wireless deployment in real-time and mission-critical systems in practice including the need for channel and operational system models, the co-design of wireless protocols and control applications, and specifying the practical requirements of various use cases.
