This paper aims to design a traffic transmission scheme with the proposed Intelligent Smart Grid Access Point (ISGAP), which can neutralize the traffic burst phenomenon. The grid communication is an obligatory affiliate required to provide essential information exchange facilities among the grid devices. To assure an effective communication process, traffic transmission controlling is necessary because deploying grid devices would produce a huge amount of data. The theoretical simulation result shows that ISGAP and its traffic transmission controlling scheme can potentially work with Bursty Traffic (BT), optimize traffic in the transmission process, and utilize bandwidth efficiently. This study has also presented a cellular network-based smart grid architecture, where the proposed ISGAP can execute its intelligent traffic controlling and transmitting functions. The proposed traffic transmission scheme would optimize the traffic and also reduce the bandwidth usage.
