ATM based WMN architecture for Distributed Generation systems in electrical networks

Abstract

The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) supports for different traffic characteristics and QoS requirements. The Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is suitable for interdisciplinary mechanism such as effective sharing of electricity. This paper investigates the ATM for WMN. This article focuses on effective sharing of electricity across the electrical sub-network (including Distributed Generation systems in electrical networks) and proposes a novel addressing scheme, routing protocol, payload structure for ATM based Wireless Mesh Networks. The proposed system builds wireless mesh network based on ATM, used to exchange information (such as current status, predicted status of electricity generators, etc.) between mesh nodes aka. electrical meters (in WMN).
