Abstract
Smart metering is considered as a crucial system in Smart Metering Infrastructure (SMI). It efficiently helps in utilizing the electric energy by both providers and customers. In recent times, numerous researches have been carried out in the field of SMI to improve the interaction between the users and the servers. This requires the integration of smart meter networks with information technology (IT) infrastructure. Such integration helps to transmit different data types like messages of electrical usage, control messages like availability and latency and other information between the server and users. To efficiently transfer the data between the server and users, the enhanced TCP mechanism is used. The proposed study uses TCP Hybla in its transport layer to effectively deliver the data via a scalable communication channel. The result shows that the utilization of TCP Hybla in SMI effectively improves the communication performance in terms of increased throughput and reduced delay.
