Abstract

Power line communication (PLC) is one of the key method of communication for electrical systems due to its advantage in using existing power line infrastructure. It can be used for emerging smart grid applications such as the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) where embedded smart meters report electricity usage autonomously. To enable AMI over PLC, however, a suitable networking protocol is required. RPL is the IETF standard of IPv6 routing protocol for low power and lossy networks, designed mainly to support multihop wireless networking between resource constrained embedded devices. To understand the performance and potentials of RPL over PLC, this work implements a RPL-based network architecture over a multihop PLC network, and evaluates the performance of RPL over PLC through extensive real-world testbed experiments using 18 PLC devices. The result shows that the standard RPL with OF0 is not suitable for PLC network, and motivates a necessity of a new path selection algorithm.

多跳电力线通信网络中RPL路由协议的性能研究

电力线通信(PLC)具有利用现有电力线基础设施的优势，是电力系统通信的关键方式之一。它可以用于新兴的智能电网应用，如高级计量基础设施(AMI)，其中嵌入式智能电表自动报告用电量。然而，要在PLC上启用AMI，需要一个合适的网络协议。RPL是IETF标准的低功耗和有损网络的IPv6路由协议，主要用于支持资源受限的嵌入式设备之间的多跳无线网络。为了了解RPL在PLC上的性能和潜力，本工作在多跳PLC网络上实现了基于RPL的网络架构，并通过使用18个PLC设备进行广泛的实际测试，评估了RPL在PLC上的性能。结果表明，带有OF0的标准RPL不适合PLC网络，提出了一种新的路径选择算法的必要性。
