With the capacity of overcoming radio spectrum shortages for wireless communications in smart grids, cognitive radio enabled Advanced Metering Infrastructure (CR-AMI) networks are expected to enhance the efficiency and practicability of future smart grids. As an integral component of the smart grid ecosystem, CR-AMI networks are practically deployed as a static multi-hop wireless mesh network. This paper focuses on the investigation of an novel RPL-based routing protocol for enhancing the energy efficiency in CR-AMI networks. In accordance with practical requirements of green communications in smart grids, the proposed routing protocol adopts the energy efficiency over virtual distance as the core of routing mechanism such that the energy-efficient route can be achieved. In addition, the protocol has the mechanism for primary (licensed) users protection whilst meeting the utility requirements of cognitive radio users. System-level evaluation shows that the proposed routing protocol has better performances compared with existing routing protocols for cognitive radio- enabled AMI networks.
