Smart grid is a new emerging technology which

is able to intelligently control the power consumption

via network. Therefore, the efficiency of the

information exchange between the power suppliers

(or control centers) and power customers is an

important issue for smart grid. Moreover, the performance

of the smart grid usually depends on the

customer’s satisfaction degree which belongs to the

field of quality of experience. In this article, we propose

a QoE-driven power scheduling in the context

account the QoE requirement when designing the

power allocation scheme. For obtaining the QoE

requirement, we analyze the fluctuation of the

power load and the impact of the transmission

delay. In particular, the power allocation is formulated

as an optimization problem that maximizes-Smart grid is a new emerging technology which
