چکیده
Smart Grids require a robust communication network to handle huge amount of data involving different smart devices. Wireless applications become the core of advance meter communication systems. The current advances within this area infer that this type of systems will fulfill the Smart Grid requirements for applications such as Advance Metering Infrastructure, Distribution automation or Demand Response. The objective of this paper is to provide a methodology to characterize and to measure the link quality of a wireless communication system applied to different Smart Grid scenarios.

Rethinking the Contention Resolution Mechanism in WiMAX Networks using Lattice Correlators for Improved Smart Grid Communication Performance
By using experimental measurements of smart grid applications compliant with IEC 61850 in trace-driven WiMAX simulations, we show that the WiMAX MAC protocol efficiency decreases as a function of the number of stations. To avoid this shortcoming, we propose and analyze a novel WiMAX MAC protocol for smart grid applications, which uses lattice correlators to improve the throughput-delay performa...
