  1. Simulation And Analysis Of Wireless Mesh Network In Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Master’s Thesis Proposal Philip Huynh

  2. Colorado Springs AMI Communication Network 8 800

  3. Motivations • Reduce power plant fuel usage by accurate load prediction with real-time meter data • Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) can be a major component in the wireless network infrastructure for collecting meter data. • IEEE 802.16 WiMAX standard • Longer distance 50km (100m for 802.11n) • Bigger bandwidth 70Mbps (45Mbps for 802.11n) • Low cost

  4. Goals • Develop tools and techniques for planning the WiMAX + Wi-Fi network for real-time meter data collection application. • Focus on performance and scalability of the WMN properties

  5. Challenges in Design and Deployment of WMN for AMI • Can the WMN meet the network performance requirements for real-time meter data collection? • Are the network topologies of WMN scalable?

  6. Approach • Develop a hybrid Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) with WiMAX and Wi-Fi for AMI. • Simulate the meter data reporting process in such a hybrid MAN. • Analyze the simulation results • Meet the real time requirement? • Investigate the scalability issue

  7. Tasks • Already Complete • Developed a network model with hybrid WMN for AMI. • Studied the NS-3 and NCTUns 6.0 for simulating the network model with a large number nodes. • In Progress: Intent to complete in Spring 2010 Semester • Develop a simulator for designing and evaluating the hybrid WMN with the meter reporting process • Future: Intent to complete in Spring 2010 Semester • Analyze the simulation results • Write the thesis report

  8. Deliverables • A working simulator for the designing and deploying of hybrid WMNs for AMI. • The master thesis report.
