Industrial systems are often equipped with both advanced and aging machines. The equipment might be located in remote areas, and it is often hard to be replaced or moved. In such systems, connectivity of old machines is not fully supported by the modern and state-of-the-art device monitoring capabilities. Therefore, interconnecting and integrating equipment can provide a target entry point for cyberattacks. Security should also be considered as an essential feature in high-level design of industrial wireless networks to ensure secure data aggregation and authentication. Therefore, security overheads should always be considered delicately in connection with other design criteria, and a proper balance should be pursued with respect to other QoS performance requirements in heterogeneous industrial networks.
