Abstract

The automatic meter reading (AMR) system has become a pivotal research area in many building environment cases. One major opportunity to carry out the data transmission within AMR system is power line communication (PLC). PLC provides an attractive solution for data communication and interoperability of the meter reading requirements. This paper shows the results of the data transmission measurements in the automatic meter reading (AMR) system environment. By means of the present pilot project system architecture plan and the following measurement scenario, communication alternatives can be investigated. The paper focuses on quality of the PLC communication and opportunities for its contemporary use with other communication alternatives as well as varying traffic situations in data transmission line
