A crucial part of the smart grid communication network is the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), connecting a utility company to end-users to support telemetry and remote-control applications.

This paper provides a holistic view of G3-PLC in smart metering systems, including its interaction with the DLMS/COSEM.
