Media and Communication

Media und Communication

In a world of growing information sources, media diversity and data volumes, the handling of data and information is of crucial importance. Research projects at Hochschule Offenburg are concerned with questions of media didactics and media design (e.g. e-learning), media information technology and media management (e.g. marketing communication, usability). Artistic research with interactive media is also part of the research agenda.

Title Redundancy Technologies for Hybrid Industrial Networks (ReTeNet)
Short Name ReTeNet
Short Description Ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) is supported by wired (Ethernet Time Sensitive Networking – TSN) and wireless (Wi-Fi 6 or 802.11ax) and cellular (5G and 6G to come) technologies, paving the way for multi-technology redundancy using, for example, different 5G or 6G channels, Wi-Fi, Ethernet links, and potentially other wireless protocols. They are a driving force behind the Industry 4.0 and 5.0 transitions. In this thesis, this redundancy will be considered end-to-end (juxtaposition of technologies), relying on realistic simulation for formal validation and on the IRIMAS institute's SMART UHA mobile robots for in-situ experimentation.
