Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm based QoS-aware routing in wireless mesh sensor networks for smart metering application

Anshu Prakash Murdan, Sameeksha Saklani

Abstract


One of the main challenges of the Smart grid is the design and implementation of the smart metering network which provides low latency and energy-efficient bidirectional communication with the rest of the smart grid.  Wireless sensor networks are regarded as the potential technology for the implementation of smart metering network. In this paper, a novel routing protocol is proposed which aims at decreasing latency and increasing energy efficiency in the smart metering network while combining it with the wireless mesh backbone network. The routing protocol is based on the AODV (Ad hoc on-demand distance vector) routing method and incorporates a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) to converge to the optimal solution, creating an application-specific protocol for the smart metering system. Simulation results have validated the efficiency of the proposed protocol in comparison to AODV protocol. The QoS metrics, end-to-end delay and energy have been considered to compare the performances of the proposed technique and AODV.
