Implementing a Scalable Data Management System for Collected Data by Smart Meters

The Internet of things (IoT) is generating a huge amount of data and big data management is of key importance. One of the important applications of IoT is smart meter networks and one of the key issues in establishing smart meter networks is managing the large volume of data sent by the meters. In this paper, we present a data management system implemented for monitoring and managing the data collected from the smart meters and controlling them in a large-scale network. IoT infrastructure with LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) class is considered in this system. Moreover, two methods are proposed to improve the performance in terms of scalability and response time. It is shown that the implemented data management system using the proposed methods achieves significant performance improvement in large scale networks.
