Abstract: In the distribution power grid, the new terminal accesses to the substation through LTE, and the wireless interference easily leads to increase in the IP packet loss rate for transmitting terminal control commands, and thus destructing the reliability for distribution power grid control. Recovering these loss packets can be realized by using the RaptorQ(RQ) coding. However, the non-linearity of the RQ failure probability model increases the hardness for minimizing the length of RQ redundancy code. To this end, the Adaptive RQ Encoder and Decoder(ARED) is proposed which exploits the heuristic algorithm to minimize the length of the RQ redundant codes via dynamically adjusting the RQ coding parameters according to feedbacks of the loss rate as well as throughput. The experimental result in the NS-3 LTE demonstrates that, when LTE noise figures are in [18.6, 20.5] dB and [25.6, 28.7] dB, the uplink and downlink loss rates in the LTE deployed with ARED are decreased by 64.35% and 89.92% comparing to those in the raw LTE, respectively.

摘要: 新型配电网终端通过LTE接入主站,无线干扰易增加终端控制指令的IP数据包丢失率,降低配网控制可靠性。恢复丢失的数据包可通过RaptorQ(RQ)编码方法来实现,然而RQ解码错误率的非线性使得最小化RQ冗余码困难。为此,提出自适应RQ编解码器(ARED),采用启发式算法依据丢包率和吞吐量反馈动态调整RQ编码参量,求解次优RQ冗余编码长度。NS-3 LTE中的实验结果说明当信道噪声指数为[18.6,20.5]?dB和[25.6,28.7]?dB,部署ARED的LTE上行和下行丢包率较原始LTE分别下降64.25%和89.92%。
