Sumario:Edge computing and the Internet of Things (IOT) provide the technological basis for the development of intelligent manufacturing nowadays. In order to support the intelligent interconnection and application of all kinds of equipment in the industrial field, edge computing should be equipped close to or embedded in all kinds of equipment nodes in the industrial wireless network. Therefore, it is meaningful to investigate the wireless network design of the Industrial Internet of Things. Low power wireless sensor devices are widely used in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which are sensitive to electromagnetic noise. The electromagnetic noises in industrial scenarios are significantly different from the conventional assumed white noise. In this paper, the measurement results of electromagnetic noises at three different test positions are given in an automobile factory. The spectrum occupancy of the factory wireless environment in the 300 MHz–3 GHz band was obtained by frequency domain measurement. In the time domain measurement, four statistical parameters of the three bands of 315 MHz, 433 MHz, and 916 MHz were measured, and the electromagnetic noise distributions in different plant areas and different frequency bands were analyzed. According to the measurement results, the time-varying characteristics of electromagnetic noise can be characterized by continuous hidden Markov models (CHMM). These results are informative to the design and optimization for the edge computing networks for IIoT.
