Cognitive information communication network for smart grid

Two-way seamless communication is the key aspect of realizing the vision of smart grid. Reliable and real-time information becomes the key factor for reliable delivering of power from the generating units to the end-users. Given the smart grid use cases, this article is focused on proposing a cognitive based communication paradigm. The proposal is related to the hierarchical communication infrastructure, cognitive home area network, cognitive neighborhood area network and cognitive wide area network. The cognitive radio is mentioned to achieve dynamic spectrum access, interference avoidance, data throughput adaptive and act as a backup wireless communication technique in emergency situations for critical data transmission. And parallel acceleration processing techniques is proposed for data processing to solve the compute-intensive character of applications of smart grid.
