Abstract
This paper presents experimental research results for MulteFire compared with Wi-Fi 6 in an indoor industrial environment for the first time. MulteFire is the latest commercial cellular unlicensed band technology available, which is the step before 5G NR-U. Therefore, this paper could be regarded as the first real-life demonstration of what to expect from the next generation of cellular unlicensed band technologies, namely SG NR-U. Our measurement results show that Wi-Fi maintains a very good latency and throughput performance, while MulteFire is better in terms of coverage and high-reliability levels. These make unlicensed band cellular technologies, a reasonable option for large industrial campus installations requiring high reliability, and mobility.
