Simulation of Street Light Pole Controller Routing with OMNeT++

Abstract:

In street lighting system, the light pole controllers were used to monitoring and control each street light. The controller nodes were installed at each lighting pole and make up a network with RTUs. In this paper, a randomly forwarding routing strategy was proposed based on the controller network features. The controller nodes were divided many clusters according to the substation power scope. In one cluster, the controller nodes topology is mainly star structure. When a controller node received a packet, it randomly delays a period of time and decides forwarding packet instead of immediately forwarding. The decision is based on the packet propagation direction and other nodes whether sending or not. The randomly forwarding routing protocol were simulated in OMNeT++ environment and compared with the flooding protocol. The results show that the delay of proposed protocol is lower than that of flooding. The proposed protocol also has some special features such as simple, not need to maintain net topology and complex path discovery algorithms.
