Analysis of Outage Latency and Throughput Performance in Industrial Factory 5G TDD Deployments
share
The fifth generation (5G) new radio supports a diversity of network deployments. The industrial factory (InF) wireless automation use cases are emerging and drawing an increasing attention of the 5G new radio standardization groups. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a service-aware time division duplexing (TDD) frame selection framework for multi-traffic deployments. We evaluate the performance of the InF network deployments with the state-of-the-art 3GPP modeling assumptions. In particular, we consider the dynamic TDD mode along with optimized uplink power control settings. Multi-traffic coexistence scenarios are also incorporated such that quality of service (QoS) aware dynamic user scheduling and TDD link selection are introduced. Extensive system level simulations are performed in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed solutions, where the proposed QoS-aware scheme shows 68 QoS-unaware solutions. Finally, the paper offers insightful conclusions and design recommendations on the TDD radio frame selection, uplink power control settings and the best QoS-coexistence practices, in order to achieve a decent URLLC outage latency performance in the state-of-the-art InF deployments.
