Abstract

Abstract : This paper presents an integrated modeling method providing superior Quality of Service (QoS) for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which is suitable for smart distribution grid (SDG) communication. Traditional QoS model based on IEEE802.15.4 protocol cannot meet the communication requirements of multipriority data in smart distribution grid. In order to meet the specification of power system communication, a new QoS-enabled medium access control (MAC) model based on unfair competition channel access mechanism (UCCAM) is developed in this paper. The proposed model can ensure that the communication system of WSN provides different Qualities of Service for different priority data. According to different requirements for the communication time, the data of SDG are divided into three types: high priority, middle priority, and low priority data. The state transition of buffering queue data in node is described by a three-dimensional Markov chain model. Delay time, effective throughput rate, and channel collision rate models are developed, respectively, to evaluate communication performance of WSN applied in smart distribution grid. The simulation results show that the proposed model can provide different Qualities of Service for different priority data and is more efficient than the IEEE802.15.4e standard and the traditional methods.
