Load-aware potential-based routing for the edge communication of smart grid with content-centric network

Abstract

With the development of Internet of Things, there are more and more devices and applications at the edge of the smart grid. To enhance the quality of service, further processing of the smart grid to achieve load balancing is regarded as a critical step. The most interesting element in smart grid communications is data itself regardless of the data source. The emergency of Content-Centric network (CCN) just meets the demands and addresses the problems. First we model the smart grid with Content-Centric Network, and concentrate on the edge communication. Then we propose a load-aware potential-based routing (LAPBR) algorithm and evaluate its performances. The simulations results demonstrate the stability and robustness of LAPBR.
