Due to its flexibility, cost-efficiency, and the ability to support mobility, wireless connectivity is seen today as a key enabler for a wide range of applications beyond classical mobile communications. A significant part of these applications depends on the capability of the wireless communication system to provide reliable connectivity. However, due to the randomness of the wireless propagation channel, reliability is still a critical issue in these systems. Some applications, such as vehicular and industrial applications, demand a level of reliability that wireless communication systems typically are not able to guarantee. This paper provides a framework that enables these applications to make use of wireless connectivity only if the transmission conditions are favorable enough. The concept is based on the idea that - despite the fact that it is practically impossible to ensure error-free wireless communication - it is feasible to derive boundary conditions for the transmission success. To this end, the paper introduces a novel metric for Ultra-Reliable Communication (URC) referred to as “Availability”, that determines the expected presence or absence of link reliability at the time of transmission. The availability is signaled by means of an Availability Indicator (AI) to the applications. Moreover, we develop the system model for computing the AI and illustrate the potential benefits of the new reliability metric by means of a possible implementation for automotive scenarios. |
