| Summary: | As an essential building block for smart grid, the industrial internet of things (IIoT) plays a significant role in providing powerful sensing capability and ubiquitous connectivity for differentiated power services. The rapid development of smart grid imposes higher data monitoring and transmission requirements in terms of delay and energy efficiency. However, due to the severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by massive electrical equipment, the transmission performance of IIoT becomes inferior. The traditional single-hop transmission mode evolves towards a multihop cooperation mode to satisfy differentiated quality of service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we propose an upper confidence bound- (UCB-) based joint route and power selection optimization algorithm to support multihop cooperation mode evolution, which adopts a software-defined networking- (SDN-) enabled IIoT network framework to simplify network configuration and management. Compared with existing local-side-information-based route selection (LSI-RS) and random route selection (RRS) algorithms, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has superior performances in total delay, energy efficiency, and utility. © 2022 Xiaoyue Li et al.
