Abstract

The need to determine which wireless IoT technology, currently available on the market, will be able to support a sizeable simultaneous load of information, types of electrical emergency alarms, required bandwidths, delays-latency, area coverage, and economic cost to serve areas of 600 square kilometers of surface and several users of around two million homes. This article compares Sigfox, LoRa, NB-IoT, and WiMAX technologies as possible solutions for last-mile communications. For this purpose, a network of hundreds of smart meters has been simulated, each transmitting different types of information. In conclusion, it has been obtained that, for a context with the priority of alarms and a large amount of information transport in massive last-mile communications in smart grids and for electrical metering traffic, it is highly recommended that it be done through WiMAX, which in the evaluation shows the best result compared to the other technologies.

在最后一英里实施物联网和M2M无线技术的成本比较研究:一个案例研究

需要确定目前市场上可用的哪种无线物联网技术能够支持大量同时加载的信息、电气紧急警报类型、所需带宽、延迟-延迟、区域覆盖和经济成本，以服务600平方公里的地面区域和大约200万家庭的几个用户。本文比较了Sigfox、LoRa、NB-IoT和WiMAX技术作为最后一英里通信的可能解决方案。为此，模拟了一个由数百个智能电表组成的网络，每个电表传输不同类型的信息。综上所述，在智能电网大规模最后一英里通信中报警优先、信息传输量大的情况下，以及在电表流量中，强烈建议使用WiMAX，在评价中，WiMAX与其他技术相比效果最好。
