Abstract
There has been a dramatic improvisation in
communication technologies during the last two decades. This in
turn has evolved as a great source of strength to ideas regarding
implementation of smart grids. This paper has three basic
emphasis areas. At first, it presents a smart grid top to down
hierarchy tree based traffic model by considering the different
types of information carrying traffic travelling between multiple
nodes of a smart grid. This is done by analyzing the multiple
functions performed by a smart grid. After that 3GPP LTE is
addressed as the most promising communication backbone for
smart grid environment. Its performance has been analyzed in
terms of high data rates, improved coverage and reduced
Scheduling and Transmission delays. In the end, a priority based
queuing technique for smart grid traffic is proposed by
categorizing the smart grid traffic into different classes with
each class representing a different type of information/data. This
results in reducing the queuing delays of traffic at end and
intermediate nodes. It has been shown through results that the
proposed traffic modeling, scheduling and queuing result in
reduced Random Access Network (RAN) delays.
