This dissertation proposes andinvestigates an isochronous wireless network for industrial controlapplications with guaranteed latencies and jitter. Based on a requirementsanalysis of real industrial applications and the characterisation of thewireless channel, the solution approach is developed. It consists of aTDMA-based medium access control, a dynamic resource allocation and theprovision of a global time base for the wired and the wireless network. Due tothe global time base, the solution approach allows a seamless and synchronousintegration into existing wired Real-time Ethernet systems.
