Load Balancing-Based Routing Optimization Mechanism for Power Communication Networks

In power communication networks, it is a challenge to decrease the risk of different services efficiently to improve operation reliability. One of the important factor in reflecting communication risk is service route distribution. However, existing routing algorithms do not take into account the degree of importance of services, thereby leading to load unbalancing and increasing the risks of services and networks. A routing optimization mechanism based on load balancing for power communication networks is proposed to address the abovementioned problems. First, the mechanism constructs an evaluation model to evaluate the service and network risk degree using combination of devices, service load, and service characteristics. Second, service weights are determined with modified relative entropy TOPSIS method, and a balanced service routing determination algorithm is proposed. Results of simulations on practical network topology show that the mechanism can optimize the network risk degree and load balancing degree efficiently.

A large scale power communication network simulation system based on big graph database

The power communication network can be abstracted as a graph based on its topology. In this paper, we propose an approach to conduct simulations of power communication network based on its graph representation. In particular, the nodes and edges in the graph refer to the ports and channels in the grid topology. Different applications on the grid can be transformed into queries over the graph. Hence, in this paper, we build our grid simulation model based on the Neo4 j graph database. We also propose a fault extension algorithm based on predicate calculus. Our experiment evaluations show that the proposed approach can effectively improve the efficiency of the power grid.

Sum-Rate Maximization in Active RIS-Assisted Multi-Antenna WPCN

In this paper,we propose an active reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)enabled hybrid relaying scheme for a multi-antenna wireless powered communication network(WPCN),where the active RIS is employed to assist both wireless energy transfer(WET)from the power station(PS)to energyconstrained users and wireless information transmission(WIT)from users to the receiving station(RS).For further performance enhancement,we propose to employ both transmit beamforming at the PS and receive beamforming at the RS.We formulate a sumrate maximization problem by jointly optimizing the RIS phase shifts and amplitude reflection coefficients for both the WET and the WIT,transmit and receive beamforming vectors,and network resource allocation.To solve this non-convex problem,we propose an efficient alternating optimization algorithm with the linear minimum mean squared error criterion,semidefinite relaxation(SDR)and successive convex approximation techniques.Specifically,the tightness of applying the SDR is proved.Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed scheme with 10 reflecting elements(REs)and 4 antennas can achieve 17.78%and 415.48%performance gains compared to the single-antenna scheme with 10 REs and passive RIS scheme with 100 REs,respectively.

Maximum throughput design of wireless powered communication network with IRS-NOMA based on user clustering

A wireless powered communication network(WPCN)assisted by intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)is proposed in this paper,which can transfer information by non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)technology.In the system,in order to ensure that the hybrid access point(H-AP)can correctly decode user information via successive interference cancellation(SIC)technology,the information transmit power of user needs to satisfy a certain threshold,so as to meet the corresponding SIC constraints.Therefore,when the number of users who transfer information simultaneously increases,the system performance will be greatly restricted.To minimize the influence of SIC constraints on system performance,users are firstly clustered,and then each cluster collects energy from H-AP and finally,users transfer information based on NOMA with the assistance of IRS.Specifically,this paper aims to maximize the sum throughput of the system by jointly optimizing the beamforming of IRS and resource allocation of the system.The semi-definite relaxation(SDR)algorithm is employed to alternately optimize the beamforming of IRS in each time slot,and the joint optimization problem about user’s transmit power and time is transformed into two optimal time allocation sub-problems.The numerical results show that the proposed optimization scheme can effectively improve the sum throughput of the system.In addition,the results in the paper further reveals the positive impact of IRS on improving the sum throughput of the system.

Electricity Services Based Dependability Model of Power Grid Communication Networking

The technology of Ultra-High Voltage （UHV） transmission requires higher dependability for electric power grid. Power Grid Communication Networking （PGCN）, the fundamental information infrastructure, severs data transmission including control signal, protection signal, and common data services. Dependability is the necessary requirement to ensure services timely and accurately. Dependability analysis aims to predicate operation status and provide suitable strategies getting rid of the potential dangers. Due to the dependability of PGCN may be affected by external environment, devices quality, implementation strategies, and so on, the scale explosion and the structure complexity make the PGCN＇s dependability much challenging. In this paper, with the observation of interdependency between power grid and PGCN, we propose an electricity services based dependability analysis model of PGCN. The model includes methods of analyzing its dependability and procedures of designing the dependable strategies. We respectively discuss the deterministic analysis method based on matrix analysis and stochastic analysis model based on stochastic Petri nets.

Prediction-based dynamic routing intelligent algorithm in power optical communication network

New energy power generation equipment has the characteristics of diurnal, perturbative, seasonal, and periodic power generation, which makes new power optical communication network(POCN) more dynamic and changeable. This is directly reflected in the dynamics of the link risk and service importance of the POCN. In this paper, aiming at the problem of the dynamic importance of service in POCN, and the resulting power optical communication network reliability decline problem, a new energy POCN dynamic routing intelligence algorithm based on service importance prediction is proposed. Based on the short-term power generation of new energy power station, the importance of each service and the risk degree of each link are predicted. Link weights are dynamically adjusted, and k-shortest path(KSP) algorithm is used to calculate route results. When network resources are insufficient, low-importance services can give way to prevent a large number of high-importance services from being blocked. Simulation results show that compared with the traditional KSP algorithm, the prediction-based dynamic routing intelligent(P-DRI) algorithm can reduce the service blocking probability by 55.59%, and reduce the average importance of blocking services by 44.77% at the cost of about 6.17% of the calculation delay.

Efficient Approach for Resource Allocation in WPCN Using Hybrid Optimization

The recent aggrandizement of radio frequency(RF)signals in wireless power transmission combined with energy harvesting methods have led to the replacement of traditional battery-powered wireless networks since the blooming RF technology provides energy renewal of wireless devices with the quality of service(QoS).In addition,it does not require any unnecessary alterations on the transmission hardware side.A hybridized global optimization technique uniting Global best and Local best(GL)based particle swarm optimization(PSO)and ant colony optimization(ACO)is proposed in this paper to optimally allocate resources in wireless powered communication networks(WPCN)through coordinated operation of communication groups,in which the wireless energy transfer and information sharing take place concomitantly by the aid of a cooperative relay positioned in between the communicating groups.The designed algorithm assists in minimizing power consumption and maximizes the weighted sum rate at the end-user side.Thus the principal target of the system is coordinated optimization of energy beamforming along with time and energy allocation to reduce the total energy consumed combined with assured information rates of the communication groups.Numerical outputs are presented to manifest the proposed system’s performance to verify the analytical results via simulations.

Maximum throughput design for IRS aided WPCN system based on NOMA

This paper considers a wireless powered communication network(WPC network, WPCN) based on non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) technology aided by intelligent reflective surfaces(IRS). WPCN mainly focuses on downlink energy transfer(ET) and uplink information transmission(IT). At the ET phase, a dedicated multi-antenna power station(PS) is equipped to supply power to users with the assistance of IRS, and at the IT phase, the IRS adjusts the phase to assist the user in applying NOMA technology to transmit information to the base station(BS), thus minimizing the impact of dynamic IRS on the system. Based on the above settings, the maximization of sum-throughput of the system under this working mode is studied. Due to the non-convexity of maximization problem of the sum-throughput of this system, block coordinate descent(BCD) technology is applied for alternative optimization of each system block by semidefinite relaxation(SDR) and particle swarm optimization(PSO) respectively. The numerical results show that compared with baseline scheme, the proposed optimization scheme can provide greater sum-throughput of the system.
