Modelamiento de una red multiservicio en redes HAN sobre Power Line Communications soportado en Teoría de Colas.

Smart Grid is a new concept that seeks to articulate the electrical energy and communications systems as a unified system for the optimization of energy consumption in the world, where one of the most accepted technologies for the transmission of information in residential environments is Power Line Coomunicatios (PLC). The objective of this article is to propose a model supported by queuing theory, which allows evaluating the behavior of multiclass traffic in a HAN (Home Area Network) under the HomePlug AV (HPAV) standard, which is one of the most important standards. of PLC technology. HPAV is considered an efficient standard in hostile conditions for the transmission of information, such as occurs when transmitting through the electrical network, which is why it is very feasible the emergence of packet damming in each node that is part of the PLC network Due to the mechanisms of access to the medium and the availability of a single collision domain, affecting the performance of the network as the number of nodes increases. In view of the above, it is vitally important to have a model that allows describing the behavior that may occur within the PLC network. According to the results obtained, the proposed model allows estimating parameters such as arrival times, waiting times in queue, attention times, probability of packet loss, throughput, number of lost packets, among other values related to the performance of the net. Although the model can be considered of great help for research work related to PLC communications, it could be combined with other more advanced analysis techniques, in order to obtain more profound results and in more complex contexts.
