Abstract
The issue of battery drainage in the gigantic smart meters network such as
semantic-aware IoT-enabled smart meter has become a serious concern in the
smart grid framework. The grid core migrates existing tabular datasets i.e.,
Relational data to semantic-aware tuples in its Resource Description Framework
(RDF) format, for effective integration among multiple components to work
aligned with IoT. For this purpose, WWW Consortium (W3C) recommends two
specifications as mapping languages. However, both specifications use entire
RDB schema to generate data transformation mapping patterns and results
large quantity of unnecessary transformation. As a result, smart meters use
huge computing resources, maximum energy capacity and come across battery
drain problems. This paper proposes a novel semantic-aware battery drain
optimization strategy ‘SPARQL Auto R2RML Mapping (SARM)’ that generates
custom RDF patterns with precise metadata and avoids use of full schema
along with optimized usage of network resources through (i) selective metadata
migration, and (ii) optimal battery usage. The proposed approach effectively
increases battery life with a balanced proportion of energy consumption and
reduces meter load congestion which happens to be another vital reason of
battery drain problem. The presented knowledge-based battery drain
prevention strategy is evaluated over an RDB dataset using three types of
SPARQL queries; Basic, Nested and Join. Furthermore, the R2RML processors
evaluated SARM over the most recent Berlin SPARQL Benchmark datasets which
depicts that SARM is efficient 40.4% in mapping generation time and 10.46% in
average planning time than default RDB2RDF transformations. Finally, SARM
significantly improves total execution time of RDB2RDF migration with an
efficiency of 8.82% and conserves battery drain by 18.5% over the smart grid
data cluster.
