Self-Motivated Relay Selection for a Generalized Power Line Monitoring Network

摘要: Efficient power line monitoring is essential for reliable operation of the Smart Grid. %%Operators use reported data to perform preventive and corrective actions in grid. A Power Line Monitoring Network (PLMN) based on wireless sensor nodes can provide necessary infrastructure deliver from extension grid one or several control centers. However, %%special consideration should be given characteristics lines. restricted physical topology lines constrains paths, has a great impact reporting performance. %Starting single corridor, we describe forwarding constraints that arise due their We discuss features power-lines performance transmissions. present comprehensive design guide efficient flexible relay selection PLMNs ensure energy transmissions while taking into account power-lines. Specifically, our applies probabilistic along with transmission scheduling combat poor channel conditions around maintaining level nodes. evaluate different conditions, non-uniform topologies corridor effect events. Our results demonstrate scheme well consumption delay ensuring reliability extended lifetime.
