Relay station selecting algorithm based on transmission delay for power line communication networks

PLC is an important communication mode of distribution communication network. PLC has a high demand for delay. However, because of the channel environment constraints, communication reliability of PLC is difficult to improve. To reduce the delay of PLC networks as well as ensuring reliability and energy requirements, we designed a PLC network relay station selecting algorithm. Based on reliability, N-1 principle and energy consumption limitation of the PLC network, aiming at the minimum average transmission delay, we constructed the selecting model. Simulation results shown that this method could achieve high reliability and low transmission delay, and improved the overall performance of the network.
