Abstract

This paper is channel assignment and scheduling techniques for efficient wireless AMI network. In AMI system, the multi-channel cluster network to be proposed defines the communication channel between NC (Network Coordinator) and CDA (Clustered Data Aggregator) as the network channel. CDA and OMD(Out Meter display) and communication channel between SMD(Smart Meter Device) are defined as the group channel. AMI network of the multi-channel cluster based in which the network channel and group channel is mixed increases the administration efficiency through the physical/logical consumer channel clustering. The reliability of inspection data through the channel use distinguished between the adjacent cluster is enhanced. In addition, the fast aggregation of data is possible and the size of a metering network is increased through the channel allocation of the multichannel cluster based.

본 논문은 효율적인 무선 AMI 네트워크를 위한 채널 할당 및 스케줄링 기법에 관한 것이다. AMI 시스템에서, 제안하는 다중채널 클러스터 네트워크는 NC(Network Coordinator)와 CDA(Clustered Data Aggregator) 간의 통신 채널을 네트워크 채널로 정의 하고, CDA와 OMD(Out Meter Display), SMD(Smart Meter Device) 간의 통신채널을 그룹 채널로 정의한다. 네트워크 채널과 그룹채널이 혼합된 다중채널 클러스터 기반의 AMI 네트워크는 물리적/논리적 수용가 채널 클러스터링을 통해서 관리의 효율성을 증대하고, 인접 클러스터간 구별되는 채널 사용을 통한 검침 데이터의 신뢰성을 증대한다. 또한 다중채널 클러스터 기반의 채널할당을 통하여 데이터의 빠른 수집이 가능하며 검침망의 크기를 증가시킨다.
