Reliable and Available Wireless Technologies
RFC 9913, “Reliable and Available Wireless Technologies”, is an Informational document published in April 2026 by P. Thubert, D. Cavalcanti, X. Vilajosana, C. Schmitt, J. Farkas. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document surveys the short- and middle-range radio technologies over which providing Deterministic Networking (DetNet), and more specifically, Reliable and Available Wireless (RAW) service is suitable. It also presents the characteristics that RAW may leverage and explores the applicability of the technologies to carry deterministic flows, as of the time of publication. The studied technologies are Wi-Fi 6/7, Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH), 3GPP 5G, and L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System (LDACS).
What “Informational” means
