A Genetic Algorithm-Based Energy-Efficient QoS Classification Method in Next Generation Electric Power Communication Networks

Abstract

With the rapid development of the information and communication technology (ICT) and the considerable increasing of the network business, the energy consumption of the network equipments improves continually. Thus building the technology of the next generation electric power communication network based on energy efficiency has become the research focus of the current electric power communication field. This paper researches the problem of the QoS graded optimization in the next generation electric power communication network. First of all, we discuss the network model of the networks QoS graded optimization, and analyze the delay and the packet loss ratio in time-variant networks. Secondly, we introduce the mathematical description of the throughput capacity and the energy consumption in time-variant networks and build the optimizing model of the energy efficiency which describes the networks QoS classification through considering the QoS constraints such as the networks delay and packet loss ratio etc. Thirdly, we propose using Genetic Algorithm to solve the model and find the QoS classes which make the networks reach the maximum energy efficiency through iterative optimization. Finally, the simulation results indicate the method proposed in this paper is available.
