Capabilities of ubiquitous sensor networks for
supporting the requirements of smart metering services

Summary
Recommendation ITU-T F.747.1 identifies the capabilities of ubiquitous sensor networks (USNs) for
supporting the requirements of smart metering services. To this end, an overview of smart metering
is described, with a clarification between smart grids and smart metering provided. This
Recommendation takes into account a few typical use case scenarios of smart metering and identifies
the general requirements and USN-based smart metering services to support these use cases. Finally
this Recommendation defines USN capabilities based on identified requirements for providing smart
metering services.
