Channel Measurements and Large Scale Parameter Estimation in a Production Hall

The integration of wireless communications into industrial production allows processes to be faster, more flexible and more cost effective. Fifth generation (5G) mobile networks are supposed to meet the requirements for ultra-reliable low latency communication, especially in non-public deployments. Already, spectrum around 3.7 GHz is reserved for such deployments and an expansion into millimeter wave range around 28 GHz is foreseeable. This paper presents a channel measurement campaign at both 3.7 and 28 GHz in an industrial production hall in three different relevant scenarios. Path loss, K-factor and RMS delay spread are evaluated.
