Abstract

In this paper, we propose multi-characteristics based data scheduling over smart grid. Three different pricing strategies are presented based on user priority and load rate. Then the corresponding novel scheduling algorithms are introduced by the proposed data priority and pricing strategies. The simulation experiments are carried out to evaluate the proposed algorithms based on trace data. And the results show that our methods can outperform the conventional method.
