Abstract

The article discusses topological properties of multihop wireless networks which are deployed as part of the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). It proposes a network topology generator based on a real map. The generator imports topologies of buildings from a specific world area indicated by geographical coordinates. The described generator is used for analysis of statistical properties of AMI networks´ topologies in areas with different urbanization levels. The article presents examples of different areas along with their properties. The resulting topologies are compared to uniform random topologies.
