Abstract

This manuscript evaluates the robustness of the small LTE+ campus setup prototype for industrial automation, addressing architecture bottlenecks and the communication latencies. It shows that a channel overload or a simple Denial-of-Service attack can have a crucial impact on the communication latencies in such setups. The findings suggest that future LTE+ small campus setups could benefit from certain enhancements in their wired segment.
