In the future, connected vehicles and automated factories will increasingly use wireless communication. Because the cost of communication failures in these applications is high, the wireless networks must be reliable and continuously monitored. To address this need, we propose a general approach to determine the reliability of wireless networks and describe implementations of it. Our approach focuses on checking necessary assumptions instead of assuming they are fulfilled. We successfully tested our methods in an operating industrial environment. Our tests show that both the initial measurement of the reliability of the wireless network and continued monitoring are a helpful tool for factory operators. In the future, methods such as those described in this article should be used to ensure the reliable operation of wireless networks in critical scenarios.

测量和监视无线网络的可靠性

未来，联网汽车和自动化工厂将越来越多地使用无线通信。由于这些应用中的通信故障代价高昂，因此无线网络必须可靠并受到持续监控。为了满足这一需求，我们提出了一种通用方法来确定无线网络的可靠性并描述其实现。我们的方法侧重于检查必要的假设，而不是假设它们已实现。我们在运行的工业环境中成功测试了我们的方法。我们的测试表明，无线网络可靠性的初始测量和持续监控对于工厂操作员都是有用的工具。将来，
