A lightweight compression-based energy-efficient smart metering system in long-range network

Abstract

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. © 2021 IEEE.
