Distribution Networks Wireless and PLC Integrated Communication Coverage Optimization Technology Based on Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm

Wireless and (power line carrier) PLC integrated communication system can effectively provide service transmission reliability in distribution scenarios and meet the demand of differentiated power services. In this paper, a wireless and PLC integrated coverage optimization technique based on improved Sparrow search algorithm (SSA) is proposed for distribution scenarios. Firstly, PLC-wireless nodes will be arranged according to the PLC topology to provide the possibility of dual-mode communication transmission for power services. Secondly, the wireless nodes are utilized to complement the blindness so as to maximize the coverage. And the improved SSA algorithm based on Tent mapping is proposed to solve the above coverage maximization problem. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the coverage of wireless and PLC integrated communication network.
