摘要：A smart grid based Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), is a technology that enables the utilities tomonitor and control the electricity consumption through a set of various smart meters (SMs) connected viaa two way communication infrastructure. One of the key challenges for smart grids is how to connect alarge number of devices. On the other hand, 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE), the latest standard for mobilecommunications, was developed to provide stable service performance and higher data rates for a largenumber of mobile users. Therefore, LTE is considered a promising solution for wide area connectivity forSMs. In this paper, a grouped hierarchal architecture for SMs communications over LTE is introduced.Then, an efficient grouped scheduling technique is proposed for SMs transmissions over LTE. Theproposed architecture efficiently solves the overload problem due to AMI traffic and guarantees a fullmonitoring and control for energy consumption. The results of our suggested solution showed that LTE canserve better for smart grids based AMI with particular grouping and scheduling scheme. In addition, thepresented technique can able to be used in urban areas having high density of SMs.
