Safety-Related Wireless Communication via RF Modules for Industrial IoT Applications

The major trend of IoT concept in the recent years is this technology being widely engaged into the industrial applications where the principles of critical safety are the essential concerns. Moreover, the great advantages and the rapid development of wireless communication technologies have driven them to form the backbone of IoT applications. Therefore, these wireless technologies must comply additional safety-related requirements in order to make their great features available for industrial applications. This research work is a complement work to the research introduced by Hayek et al. [1] and it describes a conceptual design of a safety-related wireless communication protocol based on RF technology, that fulfills the needed requirements as well as implements the safety approaches defined in the related safety standards to achieve all enhancements that make this technology suitable to be used in industrial internet of things applications.
