This article evaluates the performance of a LoRaWAN network in industrial scenarios, demonstrating that LoRaWAN is suitable for serving industrial IoT sensing applications with a high packet success rate and limited communication delays.
In this article, 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, multigateway deployments, the usage of different classes of devices, and a nonstandard 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.
