Various embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to data mirroring, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for data mirroring for efficient communication with a battery operated device in a home area network in which a home smart grid is implemented.
IT technologies such as the Internet and high-speed communication have been making remarkable progress in recent years. With the changing perception of environmental issues and high social interest in eco-friendly technologies, interest in smart grid technology, which is a combination of IT and electric power industry, is increasing. The Smart Grid is a technology that utilizes energy efficiently by minimizing environmental pollution by implementing a stable, highly efficient, and intelligent power network through the convergence of IT and power technologies. The Smart Grid is a next-generation intelligent power grid that combines information technology with existing power grids to enable electric power providers and consumers to exchange information in real time in both directions, minimizing unnecessary power generation and increasing the efficiency of power use.
In the Smart Grid system, power generation facilities include traditional large power plants such as thermal power generation, hydropower generation, and nuclear power generation, and solar and wind power solar and wind power plants, which are renewed energy sources. The large power plants send power to the transmission station through the transmission line, and electricity is sent to the substation at the transmission station so that electricity is distributed to final consumers such as the home or the office. Electricity generated from large-scale renewable power generation complexes is also sent to the substation to be distributed to each customer.
In the Smart Grid, many devices that operate by electricity are connected to the IT network and information exchange is used to efficiently control supply and demand. The major problem with existing power networks is that unidirectional power supply and simple metering facilities do not know the power usage in the final customer (house, factory, commercial facility) in real time and can not optimize the power supply. In the smart grid environment, it is possible to collect the energy consumption used in real time through the Smart Meter, so that it is possible to control the power generation amount and to predict the future power consumption, thereby making the energy cost different, .
In the home smart grid environment, information related to energy is exchanged through communication between appliances including smart meters. There are various methods of wired and wireless communication technology that can be used for the above purpose, but the technology that is installed in the most products to date is ZigBee technology. ZigBee, a low-rate wireless personal area network (LR-WPAN) technology, features low-power and low-cost, and is designed to meet the needs of personal wireless network standards for smart grid and home automation applications in the 2.4GHz frequency band. to be.

The user input 101e section allows a command for controlling the apparatus to be input by the user.
The display 101f displays results and statuses according to the operation of the device, and can display information provided from the outside.
4 illustrates a communication frame structure defined by the ZigBee standard and the IEEE 802.15.4 standard according to an embodiment of the present invention.
ZigBee supports both slotted-mode and non-slotted-mode. In the slotted mode, all devices in the PAN synchronize using the beacon message of the PAN (Personal Area Network) coordinator. In non-slotted mode, the start of the frame is detected using the preamble signal. Slotted-mode has the advantage of increasing the network efficiency because it shares the synchronous signal, but it is not used due to the overhead of the synchronous signal in the actual network environment. The message frame structure is commonly defined for slotted-mode and non-slotted-mode.
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard specifies the PHY (physical) layer and the MAC (medium access control) layer, and the ZigBee Alliance specifies the NWK (Network) layer. There are 4 bytes of Preamble Sequence located at the beginning of the PHY Layer and 1 byte of Start of Frame Delimiter. The 5 bytes are called SHR (Synchronization Header). Followed by a 1-byte frame length to indicate the length of the subsequent PSDU (PHY Layer Service Data Unit). The PSDU is a data set including all the signals of the MAC layer and can be up to 127 bytes.
The MAC Layer starts with a 2-byte Frame Control and has a Sequence Number of 1 byte and Addressing Fields with a minimum of 4 bytes and a maximum of 20 bytes. The length of Addressing Fields will vary depending on whether you want to use short addresses in any PAN or longer IEEE Addresses. After that, the frame body carrying the NWK layer data comes along and finally the frame check sequence (FCS) is used to detect the frame error. The data payload is also called the MAC layer Service Data Unit (MSDU). If the PSDU of the PHY layer is a maximum of 127 bytes, the MAC header 7 bytes and the
Necessary items in NWK Header are 2 bytes of Frame Control, 2 bytes of Destination Address, 2 bytes of Source Address, 1 byte of Radius, 1 byte of Sequence Number. If the MSDU is up to 118 bytes, the maximum payload available in the NWK layer is 110 bytes minus the NWK Header 8 bytes.
5 illustrates a topology of a ZigBee wireless network according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The ZigBee standard defines three network topologies: Star, Tree, and Mesh. The ZigBee standard defines three types of network nodes.
The coordinator acts as the center of the network and manages the information of all devices connected to the network. Only the FFD (Full Function Device) defined in IEEE 802.15.4 can operate as a coordinator.
Routers are not in a star topology, and can only be applied to tree topologies and mesh topologies. The router is responsible for connecting the coordinator and the end device, and it only consists of FFD. The router itself may also act as an end device, in which case the name is a router, but it is treated the same as an end device.
The end device constitutes the end node of the network and collects and transmits sensor data or performs a control function by receiving a command from the coordinator. The termination device is generally composed of RFD (Reduced Function Device) defined in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. RFD uses less memory compared to FFD to lower the price and reduce power consumption.
The star topology is the simplest to implement, with the ZigBee coordinator at the center and the end devices directly behind it. In order to transmit data from the end device to the end device, two steps are required to be transmitted through the coordinator because the coordinator must pass through the coordinator, so inefficiency occurs when the neighboring nodes communicate with each other.
The mesh topology increases the size of the network, with the coordinator at the center, under which end devices or routers are connected, other routers are connected beneath the router, and end devices are directly connected. The difference from tree topology is that each node can have multiple parent nodes rather than having one parent node. Mesh topology has a disadvantage of consuming a lot of memory because network configuration is complicated and each router needs to have information about all nodes. However, even if one node is lost, the bypass path can be secured immediately, thereby improving the network stability and reducing the total traffic since the data can be directly transmitted through the shortest path without going through the coordinator.
The tree topology is a topology in which the coordinator is at the center, the end devices or routers are connected beneath it, the other routers are connected under the router, and the end devices are directly connected and the size of the network is increased. In a tree topology network, all data is concentrated in the coordinator, so the total traffic tends to increase.
FIG. 6 illustrates the relationship between a battery operating device, a data mirror device, and a smart home appliance in a data mirroring cluster according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The battery operating device operates as a server of a data mirroring cluster, and the data mirror device receives information as a client. However, to other external home network devices, the data mirror device may operate as a server of the data mirroring cluster to provide the mirrored data.
FIG. 7 illustrates a communication step between a battery operated device and a smart home appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention.
A data mirroring method and apparatus for efficiently communicating with a battery operating device in a home area network (HAN) will be described. In particular, the present invention enables a battery operating device to efficiently communicate with other devices in a home area network while utilizing other peripheral devices as a data mirroring device.
