Abstract:

This article presents a comprehensive approach to designing and implementing an energy-efficient Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system based on LoRaWAN technology. The project focuses on optimizing energy consumption, minimizing network congestion, and enhancing sustainability through green communication mechanisms. A dedicated LoRaWAN network simulator and prototype deployment were used to evaluate transmission parameters, gateway placement, and adaptive data rate strategies. Results demonstrate that LoRaWAN can provide reliable and low-power communication for smart metering applications, with minimal infrastructure costs and measurable energy efficiency gains.
