Abstract: Smart Grid (SG) is an intelligent power supply system. It is a new emerging concept to increase the features of local grids. Till now local grids were only providing electricity; but now they will also take part in exchanging information. Data as well as power communication can take place between a Smart Home (SH) and Smart Grid (SG). Real time data can be sent from SH to SG through neighborhood area network (NAN). There can be different wireless medium for data transmission in NAN. Our wireless medium is based on Cognitive Radio (CR) technology which is also called as Intelligent Software Defined Radios (SDRs) network. Cognitive radio network works in unused spectrum that is the frequency available at the time of need. In this paper, we are presenting a theoretical channel selection method for SG neighborhood area network. Our work is novel in terms of single hop communication and SDRs, which have not been explored much. In SG, research focus is on wireless sensors network and multihop communication. But we are supporting direct communication between smart home and smart grid; that will increase delivery ratio and throughput and decrease end to end latency. In future, we will be providing simulation of this model and enhancing it for secure communication
