The Industrial Radio Lab Germany (IRLG) engages in research and development of current and future wireless technologies in industry. The lab creates innovations, supports companies, and collaborates with actors in economy and politics to ensure knowledge transfer towards a digital society. The IRLG comprises four distributed research and development labs that involve small and medium-sized enterprises through regional networking. The regional labs (IRLs) provide resources for joint research to collaborating partners. This allows companies the development of demonstrators based on wireless communication. Additionally, each lab has its own research topic. It should be noted that the IRLG operates independently and in the interest of the companies without pursuing own economic interests.

LPWANs
The term Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) describes the key properties of the communication technologies included. The wide range is the main difference compared to local area networks (LAN, e.g., WiFi based on IEEE 802.11) and personal area networks (PAN, e.g. Bluetooth based on IEEE 802.15.1 and ZigBee based on IEEE 802.15.4).

5G Campus Networks
With the auction of spectrum for public 5G networks and the dedicated provisioning of frequency bands for exclusive usage in local industrial applications, so-called campus networks have attracted much interest and initiated discussions. (…)
Journal article: Stable Matching for Wireless URLLC in Multi-Cellular, Multi-User Systems
An article was published in the IEEE Journal “Transactions on Wireless Communications” regarding the allocation of radio resources in the context of highly reliable communication in multi-cellular multi-user systems based on stable matching.(…)
