Abstract

This paper discusses on-going work investigating the use of IEEE 802.15.4 in a network architecture for factory automation, which aims at satisfying the requirements of industrial applications. In particular, one of the targets of the proposed architecture is to meet the typical real-time and QoS requirements found in industrial networks in a flexible way.
