Abstract: A communication device is provided in a wireless multi-hop network. The communication device receives a sequence number, a divided time acquired by dividing a time width allocated for transmitting detected usage data by a division number, and the division number. The communication device calculates a remainder by dividing the received sequence number by the division number and calculates a transmission offset time based on the remainder and the divided time. The communication device transmits the usage data based on the calculated transmission offset time.

Abstract: A power usage estimation device includes an acquisition unit, a first storage unit, an analysis unit, an estimation unit, and a second storage unit. The first storage unit stores pieces of power information each including a corresponding one of power values acquired by the acquisition unit and a day and a time which are associated with the corresponding one of the power values. The analysis unit classifies one or more pieces of power information satisfying a predetermined condition, of the pieces of power information stored in the first storage unit per day, into one of groups which corresponds to the predetermined condition. The estimation unit estimates power usage of a branch circuit by comparing the one or more pieces of power information of the groups stored in the second storage unit between a plurality of days having identical attributes.

Abstract: In an approach for adaptive sampling of smart meter data, a computer retrieves one or more balancing constraints associated with one or more smart meter sensors. The computer retrieves meter sensor data from the one or more smart meter sensors according to the one or more balancing constraints. The computer determines a subsample of the meter sensor data, and then transmits the subsample of the meter sensor data to an optimization engine for use in solving an optimization problem.
