Popis: Utilizing the abundant bandwidth in millimeter wave frequency bands is an interesting option to enable wireless communication services with challenging latency and reliability requirements for factory automation. Nevertheless, millimeter wave bands have less favorable propagation properties compared to lower bands, which impacts the coverage negatively. In this paper, we show that millimeter wave bands can fulfill extreme latency and reliability requirements with much higher system capacity than mid-band frequencies by means of beamforming, large antenna arrays, and network densification. This makes millimeter wave bands suitable for providing ultra-reliable low-latency communication services for factory automation. However, we find that small beam misalignments due to channel state information error can degrade the system capacity substantially.
