IoT and Relaying Aided Transmission Technologies for Monitoring Electrical Equipment Status.

This paper presents a novel approach to monitor the status of electrical equipment using Internet of Things (IoT) and relaying-aided transmission technologies, where the data rate is used as the metric for evaluating the system monitoring performance. In this framework, relaying plays a pivotal role, enhancing the efficiency of data transmission in the monitoring process. We employ the optimal relay selection criterion to choose the most effective relay to assist the data transmission, thereby optimizing the communication link between the electrical equipment and the monitoring system. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the system performance, we delve into the analytical aspects by deriving an analytical expression for the data rate. This expression offers some insights into the theoretical performance limits and the factors influencing the efficiency of the system. The theoretical framework is further complemented by a series of simulations. These simulations validate the analytical expression developed in the study, and provide practical scenarios to demonstrate the real-world applicability and effectiveness of the proposed IoT and relaying-aided transmission technologies in monitoring electrical equipment.
