Modeling and practical implementation of the optimal wireless security gateway for the industrial automation network

Abstract

Reducing energy consumption in networks of IoT devices is very important. This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the proposed method of reducing power consumption for the protective gateway of the industrial network. Research was conducted for devices built on Lora modules. The LoRa Modem Calculator software from Semtech was used as a modeling tool. The recommended values of the program registers are given to achieve optimal energy consumption parameters for data reception and transmission modes. Information about the prototype is given and its practical implementation is shown. The developed prototype of the gateway implements the “Protocol Transformation” method, which allows removing possible dangerous inserts from the data packets received by the gateway. This can improve the security of packets from the gateway to IoT devices and back, and thus the network as a whole.
