QoS-based dynamic channel selection algorithm for cognitive radio based smart grid communication network

Abstract Smart Grid (SG) operation requires multi-way communication among power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumer facilities. The complete SG architecture involves multiple layers of networks stretching from energy control center to consumer facilities and multiple applications with diverse Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. To meet these requirements, Cognitive Radio (CR) which offers efficient spectrum utilization and sharing, has been considered as a favorable solution. Due to diverse requirements of latency, data rate and reliability, it is a great challenge to support various SG applications under spectrum sensing uncertainties, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) variations and availability of desired channel bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a dynamic channel selection algorithm based on Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) capable of selecting the most appropriate available idle channel with desired bandwidth, minimum required SNR and probability of miss detection Pmd. The proposed algorithm utilizes various modes of IEEE Standard 802.22, Wireless Regional Area Network (WRAN), at the physical layer. In case of unavailability of idle channels with required SNR and/or Pmd, we propose a novel approach to select the channel with closest possible parameters aiming to reduce the re-transmission probability and thus achieve the desired throughput, latency and reliability requirements. The performance is compared with existing algorithms to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm.
