Link Awareness Based Networking Scheme of Power Line Carrier and Wireless Converged Communications

The Power Line Carrier and Wireless Converged Communication has greatly improved the reliability of power terminal communication network, but the problem of topology complexity is still there. With the aim to solve this problem, this paper firstly conducts deep analysis into the network model of the powerline carrier and wireless communication, and proposes a so-called link awareness enabled networking algorithm of this powerline carrier and wireless communication for smart power grid. The proposed algorithm takes full consideration of both kinds of link and the connected degree when conducting networking and topology optimization. Under the environment of intelligent power distribution communication services, evaluation simulation for the proposed algorithm is conducted. Simulation results show that this proposed algorithm can greatly improve the networking efficiency of terminal communication network for smart power grid with better performance in term of communication success rate.
