Implementation of smart meter working as IEEE1888-6LoWPAN gateway for the building energy management systems

An implementation of a Smart meter which has a feature of the advantages of IEEE1888 and 6LoWPAN, the integration of these protocols into Smart meter is of important significance in fulfilling its function as a Gateway in Building Energy Management Systems. The aim of this paper is to show the implementation of a smart meter which also functions as an IEEE1888-6LoWPAN gateway. In this system, Smart Meter/Gateway is responsible for sensing the consumption as well as relaying the data from 6LoWPAN sensors in building blocks to an anywhere IEEE1888 Storage.
