Abstract
The power line communication (PLC) plays an important role in the evolvement of communication network technology in the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). With existing power lines, PLC enables the provision of automatic controlling smart energy meter service. In this paper, we examine the performance of G3 PLC network with smart energy meter. Essentially, a network topology, a communication protocol, and a data rate are studied in real environment. Experimental results indicate that the investigated G3 PLC technology could achieve a preferable performance in terms of network reliability and throughput. Hence, this technology could be one of prominent PLC technologies for realizing the AMI systems.
