Systèmes de communication et de télérelevé des compteurs - Partie 5 : Relais sans fil

La présente norme définit les exigences relatives aux protocoles à utiliser lors de la transmission dans le cadre de réseaux de relevés de compteurs par radio. Ce document constitue une extension de la Partie 4 de la norme EN 13757 Systèmes de communication et de télérelevé de compteurs - Échange de données des compteurs par radio (Lecture de compteurs dans la bande SRD 868 MHz à 870 MHz). Elle prend en charge le routage du mode R2 mais pas celui des modes S et T.
Le présent objet de la présente norme est de prendre en charge des réseaux radio routés dans le cadre de la lecture des compteurs.
NOTE :   Les compteurs d’énergie électrique ne sont pas concernés par la présente norme car la normalisation du télérelevé des compteurs d’énergie électrique est assurée par la CEI et le CENELEC.

This document is an extension to Part 4 of EN 13757, Wireless meter readout (Radio meter reading for operation in the 868 MHz to 870 MHz SRD band). It supports the routing of mode R2, but the routing of mode S and T is not supported.
The main use of this standard is to support routed wireless networks for the readout of meters. NOTE Electricity meters are not covered by this standard, as the standardisation of remote readout of electricity meters is a task for IEC/CENELEC. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The specific requirements are to be found in the latter clauses of this European Standard. 4.2 Introduction The availability of low cost radio modules has made it feasible to use radio communication for the readout of meter data. Many meters are battery operated and have a very strict power budget and regulatory requirements are imposed as well. This limits the transmitting power levels and thereby the useful distance between transmitters and receivers. The use of reinforced concrete, conductive surface coatings and placement of meters in the basement of the buildings aggravates the problem of directly communicating between a data collecting unit and a meter. This limits the useful size radio networks unless relaying or forwarding is used. By letting some of the nodes forward or relay data, the effective size of the network can be increased. This makes the radio based networks a more cost effective solution. A relaying or forwarding concept will still have a number of constraints. The cost of adding this capability to the meters must be low, since meters are cost sensitive high volume products. The limited energy and computing power available in the individual nodes, mandates a limited complexity of the software handling the communications protocol and the forwarding. Operating and installation costs are important factors when planning for meter networks. The reconfiguration of the network when adding, replacing or removing meters must be automated to limit the operating cost. The overhead due to relaying of data transmitted must be low to keep the transmission duty cycle within the limitations imposed by the authorities. Radio networks for remote readout of meters are basically hierarchical networks. There is basically only one single data collecting node. All the meters send their data to this node, some directly, and some through forwarding nodes. There is basically no requirement for communication between meters as peer nodes.

EN 13757-5:2008 (E) 8 4.3 Relaying A radio network may have a structure like the one shown in Figure 1 below. The nodes A, B, C, D, E, F and G are simple meters. They all need to communicate with node Z, the data collecting unit/the primary station. In the current setup only nodes C and F are able to reach node Z. The other nodes cannot reach node Z. The useful size of this network is thereby limited to only 2 nodes, nodes C and F.
Key A – G simple meters Z
data collecting unit/primary station Figure 1 — Network with simple nodes, without relaying Extending the network by adding some nodes with relaying capability will give a structure as shown in Figure 2. Nodes F and G have now been extended to include relaying capability. Communication between nodes A, B and D and the primary station is achieved by relaying the data through nodes G and F. Node A sends data to node G, node G relays data to node F and node F relays data to node Z, the data collecting unit. The size of the network can now be extended to include all of the nodes shown. Nodes F and G may be dedicated relaying nodes or meters with extended capabilities. Transmission from one node to another is called a hop. The transmission from node A to the data collecting unit/primary station consists of three hops. B A G E D F Z C SIST EN 13757-5:2008

The relaying can be performed in two different ways as shown in Figure 3, using either a gateway or a router approach.

EN 13757-5:2008 (E) 10 In the router approach all nodes in the network are aware of the other nodes in the network and they all use the same protocol in both directions. The nodes are aware of the routing capability of certain nodes as well. Node B, as shown in Figure 2, will know that it for instance has to send data through the relaying nodes G and F to reach the data collecting unit. In the gateway approach only the locally reachable nodes are known. Nodes beyond the gateway are hidden. For nodes A, B and D in Figure 2, the network is limited to the area inside the dashed line, and node E is to all subordinate units the 'data collecting unit'. The gateways are organised in a hierarchy of networks as well, as shown in Figure 2, where node E is at the bottom of the hierarchy, node F is one level above it and node Z, the real data collecting unit, is at the top level. The generic details of the gateway and the router approach are specified in the following subclauses. 4.4 Use of routers In a routed network the nodes all behave like peer entities at the network level. Transfer between nodes is based on pairs of addresses, the sender node address and the receiver node address. This allows for a non-hierarchical structure of the nodes in a network with parallel paths. The fact that a pair of addresses is needed makes the routed approach incompatible with the data link layer used in EN 13757-4. There is thus a need of being able to distinguish between native EN 13757-4 data and routed data at the data link layer. This to ensure that simple nodes don't try to decode and handle routed data by mistake. The way of selecting the path to use when sending a package through a network can be determined in two ways. The first is the hop-by-hop method. Here the full path is set up prior to the first transmission, and it includes all the nodes to connect through. The second method uses network generated paths. Here the first node sends the data to a suitable neighbour router, and this router then determines the next hop for the data, based on its routing information. This latter method is the one used by the IP protocol on the Internet. The approach selected for this application is the hop-by-hop addressing method, as this is less complex to implement and requires less network traffic overhead and less intelligence in the nodes in the network. 4.5 Use of gateways 4.5.1 General A simple node has only a single address field. It is only able to work in a network with a single primary station controlling the network and one or more secondary stations/meters. A simple node will, when receiving data, look for its own address in the address field. It will assume that all data sent to it originates from the primary station. A simple node will, when responding, include its own address in the header. It will assume that all data will be received by the primary station. The gateway hides the network and network complexity from the simple nodes. To the nodes the gateway appears as the primary station. If the network shown in F
