(Main)Communication systems for meters - Wireless mesh networking for meter data exchange - Part 1: Introduction and standardization framework
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard gives the standardization framework of communication systems applicable to the exchange of data from metering devices to other devices within a mesh network.
This European Standard specifies how to interpret prEN 16836-2:2015 and prEN 16836-3:2015 which give a list of references to the ZigBee documents. This series is applicable to communications systems that involve messages and networking between a meter or multiple meters and other devices in a mesh network, such as in home displays (IHDs) and communications hubs. This European Standard allows routing between devices and also allows channel agility to avoid contention with other networks of the same type, or indeed networks of other types operating in the same frequency bands.
This European Standard is designed to support low power communications for devices such as gas and water meters which can make data from such devices available on the mesh network at any time through a proxy capability within a permanently powered device.

ZigBee Smart Energy Profile Specification 07-5356 Rev 19, and
OTA Cluster Specification 09-5264 Rev 19 4 Application process functions 4.1 Architecture The ZigBee Protocol operates using a concept of a client server relationship between logical devices in a network and uses a concept of clusters to exchange information. A cluster is a related collection of commands and attributes, which together define an interface to specific functionality. Typically, the entity that stores the attributes of a cluster is referred to as the server of that cluster, and an entity that affects or manipulates those attributes is referred to as the client of that cluster. In general terms all clusters have a server and a client side, meaning that all information either published or requested on the network is owned by the device attached to the server side of a cluster and received or requested by the device attached to the client side of that particular cluster. 4.2 Basic principles 4.2.1 Mirroring Mirroring is described in detail in Annex D of the ZigBee Smart Energy Profile Specification 07-5356 Rev 19. The concept of this functionality is to allow data from a battery operated, sleepy device to be available all of the time to other devices on the network by allowing another 'always on' device to hold a copy of the device's data in a proxy or mirror. This proxy or mirror can also be used to allow commands or instructions from an AMI Head End System to be issued to a sleepy device without necessitating the sleepy device to be awake at the time of transmitting the command. This functionality is commonly used in the case of a gas meter that wakes up every so often to check for commands awaiting it, and to publish its own meter readings, status, alarms etc. The principle is that the gas meter will awaken and query the mirror that is supported in the 'always on' device to determine what commands are awaiting it. The 'always on' device will inform the sleepy device that there are instructions or commands awaiting it and tell the gas meter to stay awake to receive them. The gas meter will then have the chance to write its own cluster data to the mirror ready for other devices on the network to read this data or be sent it (depending on the device and data item). 4.2.2 Tunnelling This functionality is discussed in detail in ZigBee Smart Energy Profile Specification, D.6, and allows the transport of another protocol over a ZigBee smart energy network without the need for any other device on the network having to understand or interpret the payload of the other protocols packets. Fragmentation functionality within the ZigBee Protocol allows the packets of the tunnelled protocol to be broken down and transported across the smart energy (SE) network in packets that are of appropriate size to be managed by the SE Network. Once packets have been transported from one SIST EN 16836-1:2017
