Teleoperation Scheduling Algorithm for Smart Grid Communications in LTE Network

Abstract:

This paper investigates the performance of three well-known algorithms namely Proportional Fairness, Exponential Proportional Fairness and Modified-Largest Weighted Delay First in LTE network. This study is based on their performance in three smart grid applications (Sub-Station Automation, Advance Metering Infrastructure and Wide Area Situational Awareness). In addition, a new mathematical model has been developed and proposed to target certain weakness of the above mentioned algorithms.
