TLDR
An overview of WiMAX desirable features including standardization, interoperability, and classified quality of service (QoS) options is provided and a multi-service simulation model for SGCN including substation, distribution automation, and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) traffic is presented.Abstract:
WiMAX technology is widely considered to be a mature solution for many smart grid applications. Several utilities around the world have deployed WiMAX networks to upgrade or expand their communications infrastructure. This paper is focused on the the applications and use cases of WiMAX technology in smart grid communications networks (SGCN). We provide an overview of WiMAX desirable features including standardization, interoperability, and classified quality of service (QoS) options and we present a multi-service simulation model for SGCN including substation, distribution automation, and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) traffic. Through simulations, we evaluate the performance of WiMAX technology considering both direct and aggregated architectures in urban, suburban, and rural environments.read more

Optimized WiMAX Profile Configuration for Smart Grid Communications
Fariba Aalamifar,Lutz Lampe +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that a priority-based scheduler is an appropriate solution for scheduling time-critical smart grid applications, and schedulers should be implemented in such a way that grant sizes smaller than the packet size are avoided.

End-to-End Communication Architecture for Smart Grids
Thilo Sauter,Maksim Lobashov +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the communication architecture is versatile enough to serve as a generic solution for smart grids and a combination of gateway and tunneling solutions is proposed which allows a semitransparent end-to-end connection between application servers and field nodes.

Reliability vs. efficiency in distributed source coding for field-gathering sensor networks
Daniel Marco,David L. Neuhoff +1 more
TL;DR: The tradeoff between efficiency, i.e. coding rate, and reliability, characterized by a loss factor, is considered for several different Slepian-Wolf based coding schemes as a function of the packet error probability and the size of the network.

On the Communication Requirements for the Smart Grid
Mohamed Daoud,Xavier Fernando +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the smart grid communication network in terms of configuration, bandwidth and latency requirements as well as the technology used is presented, which shows that no single available communication technology can be used for all layers of smart grid; thus, different technologies for different layers are needed.
