Abstract

A recent research study compared different possible technologies like RF mesh, Power Line Carrier (PLC), GPRS, 3G cellular CDMA and arrived at a conclusion that the 3G cellular CDMA is an appropriate choice for smart metering application. A related work proposed a Hybrid Spread Spectrum (HSS) based Advanced smart Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network which reduces the MAC layer overhead, latency in data transfer from source to destination and improves the PHY layer security when compared to that of the 3G cellular CDMA. In this paper, we evaluate and compare the performance of the HSS based AMI network with and without Multi-User Detection (MUD) techniques in the presence of a jammer.
