A lightweight Compression-based Energy-Efficient Smart Metering System in Long-Range Network

Smart metering techniques successfully transmit the electric meter readings from consumers to the operator within the given time constraints. Such techniques require huge energy for transmitting the large-size of data to the long distance. This poster proposes a smart metering system that consumes low energy and less time to transmit electric meter readings successfully. We first propose a lightweight compression model to compress the data at Edge device that is near to the consumer. Next, we transmit the compressed data to the operator using Long-Range network. Finally, we successfully decompress the data at the operator by using a large-size decompression model. Preliminary experimental comparisons with a recent state-of-the-artwork show that the lightweight compression-based system gives better performance with respect to delay and energy.
