“…In the other word, a suitable CF formula, Eq. (3), is introduced to manage the resource allocation policy for different nodes type with different communication requirements whose are supported by different RATs [2,11,13]. Any cognitive process for finding resources results in having delay that affects the KPIs values.…”

“…Besides, there are no simple resource allocation methods for fulfilling the SGCN requirements with the given specific constraints. Moreover, some resource allocation methods have been done regardless of considering the efficient match between RATs communication characteristics and SG node type communication requirements [9][10][11][12]. Finally, an efficient resource allocation can be done by considering the SG node type priority in sense of SG goals.…”

SG (smart grids) is an intelligent power grid in which the diverse nodes should communicate different types of information which have different communication requirements with CS (control stations). There exist several RATs (radio access technologies), with diversification in quality of service character which respect to the SG nodes communication requirements. On the other side, spectrum is becoming a rare source and its demands request is increasing exponentially. Therefore, resource allocation to support different types of SG nodes should be elaborated so that the resource efficiency is maximized while the SG communication requirements are respected. Using a CF (cost function) based on the SG node requirements and RATs characteristics to find the desirability value of every RATs for a certain node type accomplish this goal in combination with prioritizing the different SG nodes types based on SG goals by creating a priority table for RATs and different SG node types. The main node communication requirements are formulized to be used in the CF in this paper. The numerical results show that the proposed method defines the desirability value of each RAT for a certain SG node type that helps to make a priority table by using the SG node prioritization table.

“…smart meter) in Smart Grid NANs. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a fundamental application in the Smart Grid networks, thus the typical meter reading data collected in a periodic manner with 125 bytes packet size [11] is used in the simulation. In this paper, we focus on the two primary performance indicators for the Smart Grid networks, end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio.…”

“…Bluetooth (802.15.1) has low power, short-range coverage between 1 to 100 m with extended antenna, and 721 Kbps data rate. Considering the fact that the bandwidth requirements for the NAN is between 100 to 500 Kbps [37], Bluetooth seems to be a good candidate for monitoring applications in a HAN and NAN. However, Bluetooth is less secure compared to other standards, and interferes with IEEE 802.11 [17].…”

The Smart Grid has three main characteristics, which are to some degree antagonistic. These characteristics are: provision of good power quality, energy cost reduction and improvement in the reliability of the grid. The need to ensure that they can be accomplished together demands a much richer ICT monitoring and control network than the current system. In this paper we particularly investigate the design and deployment of the ICT system in the urban environment, specifically in a university campus that is embedded in a city, thus it represents the Neighbourhood Area Network (NAN) level of the Smart Grid. In order to design an ICT infrastructure, we have introduced two related architectures: namely communications network architecture and a software architecture. Having access to the characteristics of a real NAN guides us to choose appropriate communication technologies and identify the actual requirements of the system. To implement these architectures at this level we need to gather and process information from environmental sensors (monitoring e.g. temperature, movement of people and vehicles) that can provide useful information about changes in the loading of the NAN, with information from instrumentation of the Power Grid itself. Energy constraints are one of the major limitations of the communication network in the Smart Grid, especially where wireless networking is proposed. Thus we analyse the most energy efficient method of collecting and sending data. The main contribution of this research is that we propose and implement an energy efficient ICT network and describe our software architecture at the NAN level, currently very underdeveloped. We also discuss our experimental results. To our knowledge, no such architectures have yet been implemented for collecting data which can provide the basis of Decision Support Tools (DSTs).
