A maximum likelihood routing algorithm for smart grid wireless network

A maximum likelihood routing algorithm for smart grid wireless networks is proposed in this paper. It is designed to select the meters as relays in smart grid wireless networks and to calculate the probability of being selected based on the battery levels and the transmission distances. After describing the applied environment, the routing principle and the system model are explained in details. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with other two simple methods: a random method and a maximum method. The comparison results show that the maximum likelihood method can extend the lifetime of smart grid wireless network.
