Résumé / Abstract
The deployment of Information and CommunicationTechnologies (ICTs) within the conventional powergrid has enabled new Smart Grid (SG) features and services.In this work, we focus on data routing within thedistribution segment of the SG. We study communicationrequirements within this part of the power grid and we proposea classification of the data traffic based on NeighbourhoodArea Network (NAN) communication requirements interms of delays and reliability. Then, we introduce QoSGRACO,a routing protocol which takes account of theQuality of Service (QoS) of NAN?s traffic by using colouredpheromones ant colonies. We show, through simulations,that QoS-GRACO is able to satisfy NAN?s requirements,especially in terms of delay and reliability
