“…Compared to other studies [16][17][18][19][20][21] which used various LoRa network parameters such as node-to-node data processing time, LoS and communication range as the key performance metrics, in this paper a simple approach was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. By assessing the accuracy of the power consumption data collected on the cloud server over a specific period of time as the performance metric, it ensures that all other communication variables are taken into account in the final data.…”

“… While other studies [16]- [20 ] used different metrics to assess LoRa technology efficiency in IoT applications, the majority evaluated multiple dependent variables at a time that was time-consuming and demanded thorough analysis. In this study, a simple but effective approach is used to assess the performance of the proposed system using power consumption data collected on the cloud server over a specific period of time as the performance metric.…”

The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) technologies such as Long-Range (LoRa), combined with traditional cellular communications technologies such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) offers decentralized mini-grid companies the opportunity to have cost-effective monitoring systems for the mini-grid resources. Nevertheless, most of the existing decentralized mini-grid companies still rely on traditional cellular networks to fully monitor electricity consumption information, which is not a feasible solution especially for the resource-constrained mini-grid systems. This paper presents the performance evaluation of the proposed LoRa-GPRS integrated power consumption monitoring system for decentralized minigrid centers. Each mini-grid center consists of a network of custom designed smart meters equipped with LoRa modules for local data collection, while the GPRS gateway is used to transmit collected data from the local monitoring centre to the cloud server. Performance testing was conducted by using five electrical appliances whose power consumption data form the cloud server was compared to the same data collected by using a reference digital meter. The correlation between the two data sets was used as a key performance metric of the proposed system. The performance results show that the proposed system has a good accuracy hence providing a cost-effective framework for monitoring and managing of power resources in decentralized mini-grid centers.

“…In this regard, various PLC-wireless hybrids have also been proposed. For example, [6] implemented a wireless sensor network (WSN) aided by PLC to improve packet delivery and coverage while [9] demonstrated LoRa-PLC for IoT applications. The main commonality in these studies is that PLC was used to improve network coverage, energy optimisation was not part of their objectives.…”

Energy conservation and network longevity are key requirements of Internet of things (IoT) applications. However, these can be challenging in indoor environments such as dwellings with reinforced concrete walls and highbay areas using battery-powered wireless devices. This paper presents a low-power power line communication over IPv6 network (6LoPLC) for in-building IoT applications. 6LoPLC adopts a PLC physical layer (PHY) and exploits media access control (MAC) features of IEEE 802.15.4 devices as well as 6LoWPAN to deliver low-power, low rate PLC. One of the unique advantages of 6LoPLC is that the nodes are mainsconnected which eliminates the network disruption caused by battery depletion in wireless nodes. Furthermore, 6LoPLC saves the time and effort on battery recharge or replacement, simplifies network management and reduces wiring cost. The results reveal that the proposed system can yield about 5.05 dB reduction in energy requirement relative to HomePlug Green PHY without violating the delay tolerance of the IoT applications. It is further shown that using the 6LoPLC technique, delays of about 48 ms and 129 ms are feasible in residential and commercial buildings respectively. Index Terms-6LoPLC, building area network (BAN), smart city, smart home, Internet of things (IoT), power line communication (PLC).
