Wireless Networks for Smart Grid Applications

June 29, 2012
Author(s)
David W. Griffith, Michael R. Souryal, Nada T. Golmie
This chapter discusses the use of wireless networks in the context of the smart grid. First, it provides an overview of the various applications envisaged in the smart grid and discusses their communication requirements. Sifting through thousands of

[Superseded by SP 800-121 Rev. 2 (May 2017): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication- search.cfm?pub_id=922974] Bluetooth is an open standard for short-range radio frequency communication. Bluetooth technology is used primarily to establish wireless

Traffic Scheduling Technique for Smart Grid Advanced Metering Applications

June 5, 2012
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi
In this paper, we present a multi-gate mesh network architecture that has been developed to ensure high performance and reliability under emergency conditions when a system expects to receive power outage notifications and exchanges. In order to handle the

Battery Discharge Characteristics of Wireless Sensors in Building Applications

April 11, 2012
Author(s)
Wenqi Guo, William M. Healy, Mengchu Zhou
Sensor nodes in wireless networks often use batteries as their source of energy, but replacing or recharging exhausted batteries in a deployed network can be difficult and costly. Therefore, prolonging battery life becomes a principal objective in the

Guidelines for Securing Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)

February 21, 2012
Author(s)
Murugiah P. Souppaya, Karen Scarfone
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a group of wireless networking devices within a limited geographic area, such as an office building, that exchange data through radio communications. The security of each WLAN is heavily dependent on how well each

Abstract: This is an Editorial for the December, 2011 issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine. Kate Remley writes about items of interest to the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S).

Analysis of Advanced Metering over a Wide Area Cellular Network

October 17, 2011
Author(s)
Michael R. Souryal, Nada T. Golmie
This paper presents a framework for analysis of the coverage and capacity of advanced metering over a wide area cellular network. The coverage analysis predicts the maximum cell size subject to an outage criterion, and the capacity analysis predicts the

Testing Passive UHF Tag Performance Evolution

September 15, 2011
Author(s)
Daniel G. Kuester, David R. Novotny, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Zoya Popovic
Trends in tag development since the introduction of the ISO 18000-6C and EPC Global standards are investigated empirically with measurements of power harvesting and backscattering performance from 20 samples of passive tags across 860-960MHz. The

Interference Tests for 900 MHz Frequency-Hopping Public-Safety Wireless Devices

August 15, 2011
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Michael R. Souryal, William F. Young, Daniel G. Kuester, David R. Novotny, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri
We discuss free-field measurement methods designed to quantify interference between wireless devices such as RF identification systems and RF-based emergency beacons used by fire fighters. For public safety applications, standardized testing is important
