Traditional power grids are currently being transformed into Smart Grids (SGs). SGs feature multi-way communication among energy generation, transmission, distribution, and usage facilities. The reliable, efficient, and intelligent management of complex power systems requires integration of highspeed, reliable, and secure data information and communication technology into the SGs to monitor and regulate power generation and usage. Despite several challenges, such as trade-offs between wireless coverage and capacity as well as limited spectral resources in SGs, wireless communication is a promising SG communications technology. Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) in particular are highly promising for providing timely SG wireless communications by utilizing all available spectrum resources. We provide in this paper a comprehensive survey on the CRN communication paradigm in SGs, including the system architecture, communication network compositions, applications, and CR-based communication technologies. We highlight potential applications of CR-based SG systems. We survey CR-based spectrum sensing approaches with their major classifications. We also provide a survey on CR-based routing and MAC protocols, and describe interference mitigation schemes. We furthermore present open issues and research challenges faced by CR-based SG networks along with future directions.Index Terms-Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), Communication architecture, Cognitive radio network (CRN), Smart grid (SG).1553-877X (c) 2 to license holders on a long-term basis for large geographical regions. This fixed spectrum allocation can result in inefficient spectrum utilization. Cognitive radios (CRs) operating on the principle of Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) may be a suitable option to solve these spectrum inefficiency problems [18]. CRs use the existing spectrum through opportunistic access to the licensed bands without interfering with the licensed users. CRs determine the spectrum portions unoccupied by the licensed users known as spectrum holes or white spaces, and allocate the best available channels for CR communication [19], [20].After identification of available spectrum holes, the spectrum utilization can be improved through joint spatial and temporal spectrum sharing. SG applications, especially demand response management, can benefit from joint spatial and temporal spectrum sharing [21]. Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is an emerging paradigm for providing ubiquitous connectivity between devices to communicate autonomously without human intervention. However, a high number of connected devices can heavily congest the spectrum in existing communication networks. CR technology may be a suitable option for mitigating the potential spectrum shortage arising from M2M communications in the SG [22]. B. Contribution of this Survey ArticleWhile a few overview articles have outline some selected aspects of CR communication in the SG [23]- [25], to the best of our knowledge, there is no prior survey that comprehensively covers CR-based...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a more attractive transportation option, as they offer great cost savings, decrease foreign oil dependency, and reduce carbon emissions. However, varying temporal and spatial demand patterns of EVs threatens power grid operations and its physical components. Thus, the ability of the power grid to handle the potential extra load has become a major factor in the mainstream success. In order for this integration to occur seamlessly, the power grid and the consumers need to be coordinated in harmony. In this paper, we address the critical challenges introduced by the penetration of EVs, systematically categorize the proposed frameworks for demand management, and the role of information and communication technologies in the solution process. We provide a comprehensive survey on the communication requirements, the standards and the candidate technologies towards the Internet of electric vehicles (IoEV). This survey summarizes the current state of research efforts in electric vehicle demand management and aims to shed light on the continued studies.

“…Access to this spectrum could enable more powerful Internet connections in public areas, campuses, and homes with extended range, fewer dead spots, and improved speeds. Many other applications are envisioned; for example, broadband access for rural areas, extended access to medical care in rural areas, and support for the communications of the advanced meter infrastructure (AMI) [3,17].…”

“…We also assume that the locations of nodes are reliably known through GPS or other localization techniques and nodes do not misreport their locations. This assumption is easily achievable in two of the most popular proposed applications of white space networking that assume fixed nodes with known locations: (1) Residential Internet access using IEEE 802.22 [36], and (2) AMI communications [17]. In cases where the network contains untrustworthy or mobile devices, secure localization and location verification techniques may ensure nodes' locations are authentic [14,24,26,27].…”

We consider reliable telemetry in white spaces in the form of protecting the integrity of distributed spectrum measurements against coordinated misreporting attacks. Our focus is on the case where a subset of the sensors can be remotely attested. We propose a practical framework for using statistical sequential estimation coupled with machine learning classifiers to deter attacks and achieve quantifiably precise outcome. We provide an application-oriented case study in the context of spectrum measurements in the white spaces. The study includes a cost analysis for remote attestation, as well as an evaluation using real transmitter and terrain data from the FCC and NASA for Southwest Pennsylvania. The results show that with as low as 15% penetration of attestation-capable nodes, more than 94% of the attempts from omniscient attackers can be thwarted.
