In this work, we evaluate the performance of a LoRaWAN network in industrial scenarios where different Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) end nodes communicate to a central controller in order to provide monitoring and sensing information to optimize the efficiency of industrial processes and reduce costs. In particular, we consider confirmed and unconfirmed traffic, multi-gateway deployments, the usage of different classes of devices, and a non-standard channel plan. Furthermore, we analyze the higher-layer impact of different models of LoRa PHY layer with industrial channel models. We show that, with proper configuration, LoRaWAN is able to serve IIoT sensing applications with a packet success rate over 90%, providing at the same time limited communication delays.

Abstract
In this work, we evaluate the performance of a LoRaWAN network in industrial scenarios where different Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) end nodes communicate to a central controller in order to provide monitoring and sensing information to optimize the efficiency of industrial processes and reduce costs. In particular, we consider confirmed and unconfirmed traffic, multi-gateway deployments, the usage of different classes of devices, and a non-standard channel plan. Furthermore, we analyze the higher-layer impact of different models of LoRa PHY layer with industrial channel models. We show that, with proper configuration, LoRaWAN is able to serve IIoT sensing applications with a packet success rate over 90%, providing at the same time limited communication delays.Pubblicazioni consigliate
