Smart meter system communication methods
First Claim
1. A data communication method implemented by a smart meter, comprising:
- receiving, by the smart meter, a smart meter calibration command from a coordinator,wherein the smart meter calibration command includes at least one of;
a communication type identification field or a first command value field including at least one of;
a first voltage field V_CAL, a first current field I_CAL, or a first energy field T_CAL, andwherein the smart meter calibration command initiates at least one of;
voltage, current, or energy calibrations in the smart meter; and
sending, by the smart meter, a smart meter calibration response message to the coordinator,wherein the smart meter calibration response message includes at least one of;
the communication type identification field, an operation status field, or a second command value field, andwherein the second command value field includes at least one of;
a second voltage field MAG_V, a second current field MAG_I, or a second energy field T_EFF.

Abstract
An improved data packet design that can be used in a variety of data communication standards used in smart meter systems is disclosed. In an embodiment a smart meter system that comprises of a local server, a coordinator and a plurality of smart meters in the many-to-one data communication system configuration. The smart meter uses a variety of types of radio frequency data packets. The data packets contain the commands, parameters, and data for system control and data transmission. The data packet designs are disclosed for a route discovery command, a get parameter command, a set parameter command, a get data command, a reset command, a relay command, a start command, and a calibration command that are used in the smart meter system.
