A Comparative Study of Multicast Routing minimizing bandwidth under delay constraint for Smart Grids Communication

摘要

Due to massive amount of smart grid real-time communication data and the limited network resources poses a great challenge to the timeliness and reliability of power communication services. Designing a suitable routing algorithm to improve the power communication services by saving network resources and reducing the communication delay is greatly required. Therefore, the multicast routing algorithm Minimizing Bandwidth under Delay Constraint (MBDC) was proposed. However, when using this method in real smart grid communication network, the topology of network model has a great influence on the performance of the proposed algorithm. Accordingly, the performance analysis of MBDC running in different network models constructed by complex theory was presented in this paper. The simulation results and performance analysis will help the engineers to improve the communication network when using the proposed algorithm in smart grids communication.
