Abstract

In the information transmission process of Smart Grid, the collection and transmission of power consumption data of the massive users are very important. The data can be classified into the periodic and the alarm data. Different types of data are different in terms of their priority, reliability and real-time, and the alarm data has more rigid requirements of priority, real-time and reliability. Based on the characteristics of the data transmitted by smart grid and the QoS requirement, a new hybrid MAC protocol, HTC-MAC (Hybrid TDMA/CSMA MAC) protocol is proposed. Based on TDMA /CSMA and their combination, this protocol proposes an alarm priority function (APF) and a node clustering method to allocates the resources dynamically, in order to reduce the transmission delay and data loss. Simulation results show that the protocol has a good performance in reducing packet loss rate and network communication delay.
