IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC) took place on the 2-5 September 2024 in Valencia, Spain. Under the theme “Elevating 6G Beyond Connectivity”, PIMRC is one the flagship conferences for IEEE Communications Society with a special focus on cutting-edge wireless technology research and innovations. PREDICT-6G was represented by two consortium partners.

Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya attended PIMRC to present the paper ‘Novel Radio Frame Design for Efficient Integration of Wireless Links into Time-Sensitive Networks’ as part of the Workshop on Industrial Wireless Network. This paper presents a novel radio frame design for wireless links that enables the efficient scheduling of multiple time-sensitive flows with arbitrarily small packet jitter and delay requirements. The benefits of the approach described in the paper are numerically evaluated in an illustrative industrial scenario that shows a substantial gain in terms of both reduced control cycle (periodicity of flows) and improved transmission performance (number of supported flows). 

The paper was presented during the conference by the student Youssef El Kaisi Rahmoun. It can be read and downloaded here.

Politecnico di Torino also attended PIMRC to present the paper ‘Target Wake Time Scheduling for Time-Sensitive Networking in the Industrial IoT’. In this paper, POLITO “demonstrate that Target Wake Time-Acceptance and Scheduling Problem-Efficient Resolver  (TASPER) schedules traffic with up to 21.23% higher priority-weighted admission ratio and saves up to 7.42% energy compared to the ShortestFirst strategy, all while satisfying AoI constraints for 99.5% of transmissions”.
