Abstract

The invention provides a meter reading method, apparatus and system, and a communication gateway. The meter reading method comprises the following steps that: the communication gateway receives a meter reading control instruction transmitted by an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) master control platform, wherein the meter reading control instruction is used for indicating meter reading of anelectricity meter; and the communication gateway sends the meter reading control instruction to the electricity meter, wherein the communication gateway communicates with the electricity meter via LoRa Protocols. The meter reading method overcomes the problems of complexity and low reliability in meter reading via concentrators in the prior art.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of the Internet of Things, in particular to a meter reading method, device, system, and communication gateway. Background technique [0002] With the vigorous development of the Internet of Things technology, traditional fields have embraced the Internet of Things, and smart grid is one of them. Ever since American inventor Thomas Edison invented the practical incandescent light bulb in 1879, power grids have been laid around the world. In recent years, affected by environmental and energy shortage issues, countries have begun to develop a new generation of power grids that can improve the overall reliability and efficiency of the grid. According to the US research firm IDC, it is estimated that the global annual supply of smart meters will increase from 25.4 million in 2011 to 140.2 million in 2016. At present, there are 1.7 billion electric meters in use in the world, and most of them will be replaced by smart ele...
