Selecting  an  appropriate  communication  technology  for  AMI  in  TMCS  is  challenging  because multiple technical criteria must be evaluated simultaneously. This study proposes a dual -stage multi-criteria  decision-making  (MCDM)  framework  integrating  the  Analytic  Hierarchy  Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to assess candidate communication technologies. Four criteria are considered: data rate, battery lifespan, latency, and communication range. AHP determines the relative importance of these criteria, while TOPSIS  ranks  five  Low  Power  Wide  Area  Network  (LPWAN)  technologies:  NB -IoT,  LTE-M, LoRaWAN, Weightless, and Wi-SUN. Results show that communication range is the most influe ntial criterion (weight = 0.507), followed by data rate, battery lifespan, and latency. LTE -M achieves the highest closeness coefficient (0.89) and is identified as the most suitable technology. Sensitivity analysis confirms the robustness of the ranking results.<\/p>\r\n        \r\n                    <p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong>\r\n                AHP, AMI Communication, TMCS, TOPSIS            <\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t<div class=\"asmsj-citation-box\">\r\n        <h3>How to Cite<\/h3>\r\n        <p id=\"citation-text\">\r\n            2026.
