Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an integration of smart meters, communicative networks, and data management systems, which ensures duplex interaction among utilities and customers. The different types of sensors, such as gas, water, electricity, are used, and smart meters, are used to collect all the sensed information. The Narrowband IoT is proposed to connect all the neighboring intelligent meters and data concatenators in a mesh topology fashion. This IoT network provides wide-area coverage, enhances the power consumption of devices, system capacity, and spectrum efficiency.

1|Page possibility that an interloper might degrade these security measures and access data sensitive to privacy.
Chu et al. developed anomaly-based and signature-based strategies for the IDS network along with a one-pass approach. IDS is classified into two modules, such as a passive data streaming module that utilize a detection based on the signature and an active module that employs anomalies-based detection. A one-pass algorithm called FP-Stream is proposed for the implementation of the architecture.
Simone Cirani et al. suggested an IoT-Oauth-based-Authorization-Service (OAS) design targeting IoT applications based on HTTP and confined application protocol platforms to use an open authorization rapid prototyping for IoT applications based on HTTP and constrained application protocol services to ensure open and secure services in IoT scenarios with lower processing loads and to configure fine-grained access control policies remotely.

Di Francesco et al. provided a detailed research study and categorization of the data gathering methodology with portable elements in Wireless Sensor Networks. Along with sensors, there has been a recent propensity to use specialized aerial devices such as drones for data accession. With this perspective, stochastic optimization techniques premised on bacterial foraging modeling have been adequately utilized to accumulate an enormous volume of information in LS WSNs. Ang et al. suggested an approach to capture Big Data in LS-WSNs using smart vendors to accelerate the usage of energy due to optimizing the collection of Big Data in the IoT system. The authors have deployed information gathering methods using an invoice mule and a smart gateway, which are feasibly utilized components of data analysis models in sensing devices.
Inoubli W et al. provided a valuable concept about Big Data processing architectures and their effectiveness in the Smart City environment. Big Data processing frameworks are classified according to their programming model, data source type, and supported programming languages. The method is concentrated on the technical features of the computed constellation. However, certain key factors of Big Data computation in IoT applications are not covered.
Veiga J discussed Big Data computing platforms such as Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink. It exploits potential technologies such as Terasort, WordCount, Grep, PageRank, and K-means for evaluation and provides contrasting knowledge about the outcome of such platforms. The drawback of this method is the different programming model for assessed platforms which significantly impacts the description of correlated benchmarks. The data set is not outlined, and the modifications of application scenarios and their data variables for both batch and stream evaluation in different platforms are not properly defined.
Singh D et al. stated the essential characteristics of Big Data analytics platforms such as interoperability, flaw sufferance, and affordability and exploit k-means for their evaluations. However, this approach doesn't examine specific characteristics of IoT applications such as throughput, delay, and usage of resources.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is generally liable, but not exclusive to smart electricity, gas, water meters, and other sensors that are used to estimate light, pressure, and temperature can indeed be encased and typically termed as smart gadgets.
Smart metering is the utilization of intelligent meters, mainly in advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) installations in quick grid projects, intelligent homes, smart buildings, and the development of smart cities. Intelligent meters facilitate users to inspect their power, water and gas consumption, and viewing. These smart water, gas, and electricity sensors manage drinking water quality, temperature, pressure, electricity, gas consumption.
Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT) is equipped to accommodate a considerable amount of devices, low latency, low power consumption, extreme penetration, and very low cost equipment. The new narrower NB-IoT interface is the core feature of the LTE system that can be connected to GSM and LTE networks. The most significant characteristics of NB-IoT are enriched distribution and reduced usage of water, gas, and power.
The smart meters and data concentrators generally interact directly with a utility company, which incorporates applications such as Apache Flink, storm, Azure cloud to interpret the readings and then revert to the user in an accessible and structured format. This approach provides transparency data about their usage, and users can realize how their consumption compares to city statistics and history of usage that declines the consumption of water, gas, and power and saves money. Leak detectors that are beneficial for everyone to detect and prevent defective plug, pipe, and hose or clogged home appliance in their home at some point.
After analysis by using Apache Flink, the information feeds to the billing server to generate the billing information directly to the user. The billing information provides transparency about the usage and the corresponding amount to the user.
Statement of the invention:
In the era of smart grids, smart metering necessitates not only measuring electricity, gas, water, or heat consumption, and interacting from the meter to the data gateway or cloud. Real-time disclosure of energy demand directly to consumers enhances consumer awareness, reduces waste, and lower costs. 51Page
