Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications in Future Wi-Fi Networks
.
In press
Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) is an important challenge for the next generation wireless networks, which poses very strict requirements to the delay and packet loss ratio. Satisfaction is hardly possible without introducing additional functionality to the existing communication technologies. In the paper, we propose and study an approach to enable URLLC in Wi-Fi networks by exploiting an additional radio similar to that of 802.11ba. We develop a mathematical model of a heterogeneous network with devices transmitting regular and URLLC data. With the model, we evaluate the efficiency of the proposed approach in terms of delay for URLLC traffic and throughput available for non-URLLC traffic. We show that our approach allows decreasing the delay by orders of magnitude, while the throughput is reduced insignificantly.

Modern communication networks shall support mission-critical and real-time applications that demand high data rates, low latency, and ultra-high reliability, which is known as Ultra-reliable Low-latency Communications (URLLC). In URLLC systems, the effective capacity, i.e., the maximum traffic rate at which latency and reliability constraints are satisfied, is a key metric for resource management. Its estimations ...

To achieve high gains from multiple antennas in 5G systems, the base station (gNB) constructs precoders using channel measurements obtained based on pilot signals. For high user mobility, the measurements quickly become outdated, which is especially crucial for ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) traffic because it increases channel resource consumption to provide highly reliable transmissions ...
