This paper investigates in detail a smart grid communication network architecture that supports today’s grid applications (such as supervisory control and data acquisition [SCADA], mobile workforce communication, and other voice and data communication) and new applications necessitated by the introduction of smart metering and home area networking, support of demand response applications, and incorporation of renewable energy sources in the grid. We present design principles for satisfying the diverse quality of service (QoS) and reliability requirements ...

It aligns with the governance model as currently endorsed by the senior officials responsible for emergency management in Canada (SOREM), which contains two layers of operational responsibility a national entity and multiple regional service delivery entities (RSDE). The network architecture is also aligned with the service delivery model whereby the users of the public safety broadband network (PSBN) are clients of th...

Un module de commande d'admission supervise le procede d'admission d'appel en fonction d'un profil de strategie specifie. Lorsque les ressources sont insuffisantes dans le reseau pour prendre en charge un appel entrant, le module de commande d'admission consulte un module de preemption afin de determiner si, par preemption des appels de faible priorite, des ressources suffisantes peuvent etre recuperees pour prendre en charge l'appel entrant.

The mixture of duplex connections employing distinct numbers of time slots per TDMA frame resulted in a poorer grade of service (GoS) for those services having a higher

Parameters of interest include blocking, handover failure and non-completion probabilities. Effects of different handover channel assignment strategies upon the grade of service are investigated. Results will show that the estimated parameters are in good agreement with the simulation
