Abstract

Routing protocols play an important role in a Wireless Smart Grid Network (WSGN). The implementation of efficient routing strategies becomes paramount to guarantee the necessary interaction between utilities smart devices like smart meters, and the control centers. This research is focused on improving one of the well known routing protocols for WSGN, the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL). More specifically, this paper presents a new parent selection strategy designed to choose the best parent when two or more candidates have the same ranking. The goal is to make better forwarding decisions on the best next-hop node to transmit packets to the destination. The proposed method takes into account the most important routing metrics in this type of network determined by applying Machine Learning (ML) feature importance analysis using Random Forest. The performance evaluation of the proposed strategy shows a significant improvement in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio when comparing to RPL standard implementations.

RPL+:一种改进的无线智能电网RPL选择策略

路由协议在无线智能电网(WSGN)中起着重要作用。高效路由策略的实施对于保证公用事业智能设备(如智能电表)和控制中心之间必要的交互至关重要。本研究的重点是改进WSGN的一个著名路由协议，低功耗和有损网络路由协议(RPL)。更具体地说，本文提出了一种新的亲本选择策略，当两个或两个以上的候选人具有相同的排名时，该策略旨在选择最佳亲本。目标是在最佳的下一跳节点上做出更好的转发决策，以便将数据包传输到目的地。该方法考虑了该类型网络中最重要的路由指标，通过使用随机森林应用机器学习(ML)特征重要性分析确定。与RPL标准实现相比，所提出的策略的性能评估显示在分组投递率方面有了显著的改进。
