“…For outdoor environments, its typical values varies from 2.7 to 6.5 depending on the environment characteristics [27]. In [28][29], researches have demonstrated that the path loss exponent is typically observed to be around 4 for urban areas. In industrial areas, the path loss exponent tends to be around 3, indicating a slightly lower rate of signal attenuation compared to urban areas.…”

In the Neighborhood Area Network (NAN), the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) enables a bidirectional connection between the Smart Meter (SM) and the Data Concentrator (DC). Sensors, such as smart meter node or Radio Frequency transceiver, play a crucial role in collecting and transmitting data from meters to central unit for advanced monitoring, management, and analysis of energy consumption. Wired and wireless communication technologies can be used to implement the AMI-NAN. This paper delves into a novel approach for optimizing the choice of communication medium, Radio Frequency (RF) or Power-Line Communication (PLC), between the SM and DC in the context of AMI-NAN. The authors methodically select the specific technologies, RF and NB-PLC (Narrow Band Power-Line Communication), and meticulously characterize their attributes. Then, a comparative analysis spanning rural, urban, and industrial settings is conducted to evaluate the proposed method. The overall reliability performance of the AMI-NAN system requires a Packet Error Rate (PER) lower than 10%. To this end, a comprehensive methodology is introduced to assess and enhance the reliability of NB-PLC and RF for AMI-NAN applications. Simulation results demonstrate that wireless communication is the optimal choice for the rural scenario, especially for Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) lower than 25 dB. However, in urban environments characterized by higher SNR values and moderately dense networks, NB-PLC gains prominence. In denser networks, it outperforms wireless communication, exhibiting a remarkable 10 dB gain for a bit error rate (BER) of 10-3. Moreover, in industrial zones characterized by intricate network topologies and non-linear loads, the powerline channel emerges as the optimal choice for data transmission, affording a gain surpassing 20 dB.

The number of cellular base stations placed in urban areas are continuously increasing to face the continuous demand for cellular wireless services. Mounting base stations in an uncontrolled way has raised the concern of people living or working around base station towers about the probable health effects associated with base station radiations. In this study, a theoretical mathematical prediction model to estimate the exposure level due to cellular base station radiations is proposed. The objective is to check how various parameters such as base station density, path loss exponent value, base station antenna heights, and cell radius can control the power density induced at the exposed objects in urban areas.
