However the vast number and diversity of the available information does not facilitate the decision process. The achievement of information advantage in line with the rule: the first to notice, the first to understand and the first to act depends among other things on the proper information processing. In the theory of Electronic Warfare, the processing of information about the electronic objects of the enemy emitting electromagnetic energy is realized by Signals Intelligence. The fastest processing of information in the information system of Signals Intelligence is presently provided by cybernetic environment. The construction of an information processing system in the cybernetic environment of Signals Intelligence is thus a very complex task. The article presents theoretical basis of information processing in cybernetic environment of Signals Intelligence based on research carried out by the authors. The article can be described as the added value since it presents and clarifies a complex concept of cybernetic environment of Signal Intelligence. Moreover, it provides a new definition of information process as a system of operations on intelligence information and data. It also presents the stages of information process as well as the structure of information processing process. In the further part it shows the factors and elements of the cybernetic environment of Signals Intelligence isolated in the process of research. The document provides a perspective for the processing of information in the cybernetic environment of Signals Intelligence, it fills the gap in research on information processing in the cybernetic environment of Signals Intelligence as well as assures strong theoretical basis and provides an incentive for further research on the information processing in the cybernetic environment of Signals Intelligence.","PeriodicalId":177579,"journal":{"name":"2018 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"78 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114152160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve such functionality of the power grid, it is necessary to provide data exchange and proper communication technology between particular grid nodes has to be chosen as well. A definition of Smart Grid system is described, and a few conceptual models are mentioned. This paper further deals with Power Line and Internet of Things communication. The technologies such as Sigfox, LoRa and NB-IoT are surveyed with an intention to integrate the Smart Grid into an Internet of things network. The main advantages and disadvantages for use in Smart Grid systems are stated. The paper further deals with a desing of a custom hardware platform suitatable for an implementation Power Line Communications and Internet of Things networks in Smart Grid systems.

Although both concepts in a high level mathematical description apparatus look very much the same, in practical details the model fundamental core is completely different.
