ANSI C12/IEC 62056-8-20 ED1.0

ANSI C12 Standards Committee makes an identical national adoption of IEC 62056-8-20 Ed. 1.0 Electricity Metering Data Exchange - The DLMS/ COSEM Suite Part 8-20: Mesh Communication Profile for Neighbourhood Networks. This part of IEC 62056 specifies a DLMS/COSEM communication profile that can be used in a smart metering system in which the Neighbourhood Networks (NN) are mesh networks. This profile may be considered as an adaptation and extension of the UDP/IP communication profile specified in IEC 62056-9-7:2013. As in that standard, the PHY and MAC layers are out of the Scope. This Technical Specification specifies a number of features essential to the efficient operation of a large scale AMI using mesh NNs.
