Reliable Industrial Wireless Communication: Multi-Service MCS Approaches

In industrial settings, reliable and efficient data transmission is crucial. However, traditional Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) techniques are limited by their inability to manage mixed-criticality systems and varying data importance. We propose a novel transmission scheme that combines Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) with Unequal Error Protection (UEP) and leverages Multi-Service Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) (MS-MCS) tables. This approach enables simultaneous transmission of multiple services over a single channel, each with tailored reliability levels, improving spectral efficiency and reliability in dense wireless environments.
