---|---|---|
HomePlug Green PHY (HPGP), designed to address the needs of Smart Grids, uses the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) scheme to define its multiple access control (MAC). Similar to the IEEE 802.11, the MAC efficiency of HPGP protocol degrades when the number of users increases. This paper examines a comprehensive high-load simulation of the IEEE 802.11 DCF backoff mechanism, compares the performance of this mechanism with the performance of P1901/HomePlug MAC, and introduces a constant contention window MAC-a novel MAC protocol that maximizes efficiency in a heavily-loaded smart grid environment. In the proposed MAC protocol, every node generates a run-time channel traffic estimation and an adaptive contention window size adjustment. We demonstrate that, whereas the HPGP's MAC efficiency drops down to about 15%, the proposed adaptive MAC protocol retains its efficiency at about 81% with up to 100 users. |
