Abstract
Abstract A crucial part of the smart grid communication network is the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), connecting a utility company to end-users to support telemetry and remote-control applications. Although different technologies and standards for smart metering systems exist, Power-Line Communication is the preferred technology for AMI networks in dense urban areas, and the G3-PLC, which uses DLMS/COSEM to support data exchange, is the most used standard in PLC-based AMI networks. This paper provides a holistic view of G3-PLC in smart metering systems, including its interaction with the DLMS/COSEM. It also covers the challenges and research opportunities in G3-PLC smart metering systems.
