Optimal planning for cellular networks for smart metering infrastructure in rural and remote areas

Smart metering is used to control, mon-itor and know the system status in real time; to this effect, the incorporation of smart grids primarily benefits the electrical system; similarly, the reuse of infrastructure and cellular spectrum help mitigate the time and cost of its implementation. In order...

Description
Summary:Smart metering is used to control, mon-itor and know the system status in real time; to this effect, the incorporation of smart grids primarily benefits the electrical system; similarly, the reuse of infrastructure and cellular spectrum help mitigate the time and cost of its implementation. In order to reduce traffic and saturation of cellular networks, this paper aims at determining the optimal route for in-formation transmission analyzing the optimal routing through distances and optimal routing through traf-fic flow. This analysis helps determine what the opti-mal route is, when there is no traffic on the wireless network, or when there is prolonged traffic, and what the traffic tendencies are, that may occur by excessive information transmission of smart meters to electric distribution companies
