研究背景：

智能制造已经成为制造业企业发展的必然趋势，不仅可以解决突发事件下用工荒的问题，也可以降低运营成本，提高生产效率。近日召开的十九届五中全会提出的"基本实现新型工业化”的目标将进一步加速推进我国智能制造发展。工业互联网是实现工业智能化和制造业产业升级的新基建核心要素，肩负着我国从工业大国到工业强国转变的重任。在工业互联网场景中，工人将被机器取代，当前通信将由有线连接变为无线连接。机器人将不再受线缆的约束，可以执行移动等灵活的任务且可以在强腐蚀等恶劣的环境下正常工作。然而，从有线到无线的转变，从物理层数据传输的角度看，通信研究者需要解决在有限分块长度（低时延）下实现海量机械设备超高可靠传输的瓶颈问题。
