Ensuring reliable communication in IoT-based SG applications is challenging due to the harsh channel environment often encountered in the power grid. Error Control (EC) techniques have emerged as a promising solution to enhance reliability. Nevertheless, ensuring network reliability requires a substantial amount of energy consumption. In this paper, we formulate a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model which considers the energy dissipation of EC techniques to maximize IoT network lifetime while ensuring the desired level of IoT network reliability. We develop meta-heuristic approaches such as Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to address the high computation complexity of large-scale IoT networks. Performance evaluations indicate that the EC-Node strategy, where each IoT node employs the most energy-efficient EC technique, yields a minimum of 8.9% extended lifetimes compared to the EC-Net strategies, where all IoT nodes employ the same EC method for a communication. Moreover, the PSO algorithm reduces the computational time by 77% while exhibiting a 2.69% network lifetime decrease compared to the optimal solution.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessInternet of thingsError controlSmart gridNetwork lifetimearticle254110
