Embodiment Construction

[0044] The download method of the present invention enables software to be downloaded to multiple meters in an orderly manner via multiple data concentrators. The download method is performed in a network that includes not only meters and data concentrators, but also an information system (IS) that itself includes one or more servers.

[0045] As an example, the meter may be a gas meter. As an example, software is firmware.

[0046] Each meter includes a first communication module. Each data concentrator includes a first communication module and a second communication module. The IS includes a second communication module.

[0047] The meter and data concentrator can communicate via the first communication module. The data concentrator and the IS can communicate via the second communication module.

[0048] Communication modules may utilize various technologies. In this example, the first communication module of the meter and data concentrator is adapted to communicate by...

Abstract

A method for downloading software to a plurality of meters (M1, M2, . . . , MN) via a plurality of data concentrators (DC A, DC B, . . . ) includes the steps of mapping the positions of the meters and of the data concentrators; defining a plurality of subnetworks, each comprising data concentrators; associating each subnetwork with a downloading date comprising, the downloading date of each subnetwork being different from the downloading dates of the other subnetworks; transmitting to the data concentrators of each subnetwork the downloading date associated with said subnetwork, so that when the downloading date associated with said subnetwork is reached, all of the data concentrators of the subnetwork download the software to all of the meters that are positioned within communication range of the data concentrators of the subnetwork.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of energy management networks. Background technique [0002] Today, in many countries, vast networks of smart meters (gas, water, electricity) are being deployed on a large scale across the country. [0003] Each such network typically includes millions of meters, along with data concentrators and information systems (IS). In a network comprising millions of meters, it is common to find thousands of data concentrators. [0004] Each of these entities (meters, data concentrators, IS) is provided with communication means that can use various technologies (radio communication with various protocols, communication over cellular networks, power line carriers, etc.) Uplink and downlink transmissions within the network are possible. [0005] These communication means are used inter alia to download software to the meter. By way of example, the downloaded software may be so-called "firmware" (ie, software for providing lo...
