Communication systems for meters and remote reading of meters - Part 4: Wireless meter readout (Radio meter reading for operation in SRD bands)

This European Standard specifies the requirements of parameters for the physical and the link layer for systems using radio to read remote meters. The primary focus is to use the Short Range Device (SRD) unlicensed telemetry bands. The standard encompasses systems for walk-by, drive-by and fixed installations. As a broad definition, this European Standard can be applied to various application layers.

Configuration Word (refer to EN 13757-3) 4 General 4.1 Introduction The “meters” may communicate with “other” system components, for example mobile readout devices, stationary receivers, data collectors, multi-utility concentrators or system network components. Such devices are in this document named “Other Device”. For the meter side, it is assumed that the communication function will work without any operator’s intervention or need for battery replacement over the full lifetime of the radio part of the meter. Other components such as the mobile readout or stationary equipment may have a shorter battery lifetime or require an external power supply as dictated by the technical parameters and use. Several different modes of operation are defined for the communication with the meter. Many of the physical and link layer parameters of these different modes are identical, allowing the use of common hardware and software. However, due to the operational and technical requirements of these modes some parameters will differ.
The name of a mode is specified by a letter and a number. The letter specifies a mode and the number specifies whether the modes supports unidirectional (=1) or bidirectional (=2) data transfer.
a) “Stationary mode”, mode S is intended for unidirectional or bidirectional communications between the meter and a stationary or mobile device. A special transmit only sub-mode S1 is optimised for stationary battery operated devices with a long header and the sub-mode S1-m is specialised for mobile receivers. b) “Frequent transmit mode”, mode T. In this mode, the meter transmits a very short frame (typically 3 ms to 8 ms) every few seconds, thus allowing walk-by and/or drive-by readout.
Transmit only sub-mode T1. It is the minimal transmission of a meter ID plus a readout value, which is sent periodically. The bidirectional sub-mode T2 transmits frequently a short frame containing at least its ID and then waits for a very short period after each transmission for the reception of a response. The reception of a response will open a bidirectional communication channel. Alternatively, the initial frame contains the readout value as well, and the response is a reverse channel only used for special services. c) “Frequent receive mode”, mode R. In this mode only R2 is relevant, as R1 makes no sense. The meter listens every few seconds for the reception of a wakeup message from a mobile transceiver. After receiving such a wakeup, the device will prepare for a few seconds of communication dialog with the initiating transceiver. In this mode a “multi-channel receive mode” allows the simultaneous readout of several meters, each one operating on a different frequency channel. This mode is as well applicable to stationary Other Device's. d) “Compact Mode” mode C. This mode is similar to mode T but it allows for transmission of more data within the same energy budget and with the same duty cycle. It supports the sub-modes C1 and C2 for unidirectional and bidirectional devices. It is suitable for walk-by and/or drive-by readout. The common reception of mode T and mode C frames with a single receiver is possible.
e) “Narrowband VHF”, mode N. Optimised for narrowband operation in the 169 MHz frequency band, allocated for meter reading and a few other services. Transmit only sub-modes N1a-f, and bidirectional sub-modes N2a-f. The range of sub-modes can be extended using repeaters. Sub-mode N2g is intended for, but not limited to, long range secondary communication using multi-hop repeaters.
SIST EN 13757-4:2013



EN 13757-4:2013 (E) 7 f) “Frequent receive and transmit mode”, mode F. Used in the 433 MHz frequency band for long range communications. In the bidirectional sub-modes F2-m, the meter listens every few seconds for the reception of a wake up message from a stationary or mobile transceiver. After receiving such a wake up message, the device prepares for a few seconds of communication dialog with the initiating transceiver. The bidirectional sub-mode F2 transmits a frame and waits for a short period for the reception of a response. The response will open for bidirectional communication. Meters or other communication devices may support one, multiple or all of the described modes. NOTE Additional modes, supporting repeating and routing of data, are specified in EN 13757-5. The detailed handling of broadcast and multicast transmissions is not specified in this standard. The transmission shall be interpreted as multicast if no Extended Link Layer or Transport Layer is used. 4.2 Meter communications types Table 1 describes the key features of each mode and sub-mode.

Further bidirectional communication in the 0,1 %-frequency band using 100 kcps (meter transmit) and 32,768 kcps (meter receive) may follow.

Each bit shall be encoded as either a "10" chip sequence representing a “zero” or as a “01” representing a “one”. The lower frequency shall correspond to a chip value of “0”. 5.4.2 Mode S: Order of transmission of the encoded data Each data byte shall be transmitted with the most significant bit first. The order of multi byte fields is defined in 11.2. 5.4.3 Mode S: Preamble and synchronisation pattern The total preamble (header + synchronisation) chip sequence for this mode shall be n × (01) 0001110110 10010110:
with n ≥ 279 for the sub-mode S1 (long header) with n ≥ 15 for the sub-mode S2 (short header) with n ≥ 279 for the sub-mode S2 optional long header All chips of each frame, including pre- and postamble, shall form an uninterrupted sequence. After this preamble a frame of the format A shall follow. NOTE In Manchester coding, the chip sequence 000111 is invalid but it is used near the end of the header to allow a receiver to detect the start of a new or a stronger transmission. This applies even during reception of a weaker transmission. The capture effect allows efficient communication even in a channel where many weak transmitters from a large area might otherwise effectively block th
