“…Therefore, PLC rapidly becomes a popular solution to set up residential network. [3] The cable modems and optic LAN are mainly used for the broadband, rather than PLC because of technical constraints and administrative restrictions. However, in Korea, the KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Coporation) consortium adopts and uses CATV network and PLC communication technology as the base communication technology for AMR services.…”

Abstract. The AMR (Auto Meter Reading) is needs to prepare separate IPs and communication lines for remote communication because DCU (Data Concentration Unit) and wideband modem are identical system required the resource to communication. It is the purpose of the literature to improve system stability and data reliability by means of integrating broadband cable communication part and PLC communication part within DCU. A PLC has some draw-backs in wideband communication because of absences of international standard specifications and the characteristic of power line. We integrated broadband cable modem and PLC modem in DCU. Therefore, the communication system is designed with unified board. PLC modem and broadband cable modem are designed to meet ISO/IEC12139-1 and international specified DOCSIS2.0 standard, respectively.

Abstract-This paper presents a low power consumption and low cost automatic data collection network for water meter application. Based on transmission performance and power consumption, several low cost sub-GHz wireless transceivers are analyzed and compared, and consequently a suitable hardware is chosen. The associated network protocol stack is also examined. To construct the automatic collecting data mechanism, we consider a cluster based wireless sensor network (WSN) where routers and a GPRS gateway are used to link each cluster to a data collection center. Advantages of this proposed configuration are the simple implementation, low cost and low power consumption. By using the Monte Carlo simulation technique, packet delivery ratio and power consumption for different topologies are investigated. Based on obtained results, the optimum network topology for automatic water meter reading in a typical urban environment is finally proposed.Keywords-Wireless sensor network, low cost and low power consumption network, automatic water meter reading.This research was supported by the Vietnam's National University of Hochiminh-city project: "Energy consumption optimization of cooperative communication techniques in cognitive radio network and wireless sensor network".

“…Importantes economias de custos logísticos e operacionais tem sido realidade em empresas distribuidoras de energia [10] com o sistema AMR, que não reduz somente os custos operacionais das empresas fornecedoras de energia, gás ouágua, como também está ligado diretamente a um eficiente gerenciamento de controle de demandas e monitoramento dos dados [11]. O sistema AMR tem como objetivo ser utilizado para qualquer tipo de medidor e já vem sendo utilizado em diversos países, e.g., Estados Unidos, Canadá, Austrália, Itália e outros.…”

The most electrical power suppliers to recruit meter readers to carry out collection of power consumption of the consumers. This activity is done manually and can provide error and cause financial and physical losses. Solutions have been proposed in the literature focusing on more efficient routes for meter readers or the use of a car to perform the task remotely, which can increase the cost and have delayed task by problems of transit traffic. To overcome these challenges and constraints, we propose an architecture to automatic meter reading (AMR) system using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Two main contributions can be absorbed of this solution: i) the meter readers are no longer needed; ii) reducing the time and distance to carry out the collection of the readings from the power meters. In addition a protocol that ensures wireless communication between the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and the power meters was designed. The solution was validated and evaluated in an urban environment and the results achieved show a decrease up to 72.6% of time and 45.1% of the distance as compared to the use a car. The communication protocol can avoid at least 98.3% of packet collisions.
