“…One of the advantages of the lower UHF band are the larger coverage areas for smart metering or smart grid devices in contrast to the usage of GSM (900 MHz band) and Third Generation (3G) (1920-2190 MHz) versions [125]. This situation enabled the UHF technology to be highly attractive for rural areas, as it requires the lowest number of base stations per area covered in contrast to other technologies [125]. The other notable uses of the UHF technology are the partial discharge detection in field monitoring and smart substations owing to its sensitivity to typical insulation defects and noise rejection capacit ies [127] and the remote monitoring of smart meters via UHF Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) systems [128], [129].…”

A smart grid provides a bidirectional flow of electricity and information whilst ensuring wellbalanced electricity supply and demand. The key enabler for the smart grid is its robust communication infrastructure. Choosing the best communication technology for the smart grid is crucial as it involves a mixture of critical and non-critical traffic. This study provides a comprehensive review on smart grid communication and its possible solutions for a reliable two-way communication toward supporting diversified power grid applications. Existing networking methods along with their advantages and weaknesses are highlighted for future research directions. The communication network architecture in the smart grid, with details on each networking technology, switching methods and medium for data communication, is critically reviewed to identify the existing research gaps. A discussion on issues and challenges encountered in smart grid communication for current implementation is highlighted together with the recommendations for further improvement. Overall, the highlighted issues and recommendations from this study are useful to researchers, technology providers and industries to develop new communication technologies for the smart grid that will provide reliable, robust, and suitable two-way communication in the future.

In this letter a novel notched multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) flexible slot antenna with a C-slot is proposed and designed for wireless body area network (WBAN) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The proposed antenna is comprised of four similar elements with the feed line of coplanar waveguide (CPW). Antenna is printed on flexible liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate with compact dimensions. The proposed UWB-MIMO slot antenna can operate in range of 2.85-10.85 GHz with notched band from 4.9-6.425 GHz. The achieved notched band can filter the interference of WLAN (5.15-5.825 GHz), by adding an inverted orthogonal branch, great isolation is achieved, which is better than 24 dB over working bands. What's more, the parameters of diversity performance like gain, envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) and diversity gain (DG) are also analyzed. The actual measurement of bending test and the effect of human body indicates that the presented antenna is suitable for WBAN and IoT applications.
