A Pragmatic Relay Placement Approach in 3-D Space and Q-Learning-Based Transmission Scheme for Reliable Factory Automation Applications.

The biggest challenge in adopting industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) for factory automation applications is to provide low latency and highly reliable communication in harsh factory environments. IEEE 802.15.4e low latency deterministic network (LLDN) mode attempts to address this requirement at the medium access control (MAC) layer. However, the measures offered by this mode are inadequa...
