Abstract
Smart grid is one of the most important applications of Internet of Things (IoT) for environmental sustainability and energy efficiency issues. Among all these wireless communication technologies applied in smart grid, IP-based wireless sensor networks (IP-WSNs) is considered as the most promising one for providing pervasive communications and control capabilities at low cost. It can connect smart meters with the wired area network (WAN) infrastructure seamlessly without requiring specialized gateways. IPv6 Internet has become an inevitable trend for all-IP communication because of its large address space and others advantages over IPv4. One of the main challenges for connecting WSNs and IPv6 Internet is IPv6 address configuration since nodes with unique address are a prerequisite for reliable end-to-end communications. Hence, we propose two spatial IPv6 address configuration schemes called MPIPA and DSIPA for smart grid. As smart meters on modern buildings may be placed in three-dimensional (3D), both MPIPA and DSIPA utilize 3D location coordinates to assign each node a unique spatial IPv6 address in stateful approach. We use the assignment success rate (ASR) and the total energy consumption (TEC) for address configuration as the performance metrics. The simulation results show that our proposed schemes have higher ASR and lower TEC than others address configuration mechanisms.
