摘要： In an embodiment of a wireless network, when a node joins the network and receives a routing advertisement, such a node transmits the routing advertisement to all its neighbors. The node then receives transmission from the neighboring nodes indicating interest in joining the advertised network. If more than a threshold number of neighboring nodes are interested in the advertised route, the newly joining node inserts the route advertisement in a beacon transmission. If there is not a threshold level of interest, the node unicasts only to the neighbors who indicated interest in the advertised network. In an embodiment, the node repeats the above steps on a predetermined time basis (e.g., one per day) in order to determine interest in the advertised route that may have newly arisen.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention implements a FHSS system using single transmitter/multiple receiver transceivers. Such transceivers are configured to receive multiple FHSS channels (e.g., five channels) but only transmit on one channel. In an embodiment, one channel is dedicated to high priority traffic and the other four channels are dedicated to standard traffic. In receiving a high priority message, the transceiver is configured to address the high priority traffic first. For example, because the single transmitter/multiple receiver transceivers only has one transmitter, such transceiver may immediately dedicate it transmitting resources to addressing the received high priority data. Other embodiments are disclosed that implement multiple priorities among a plurality of communication channels.
摘要翻译：本发明的一个实施例实现了使用单个发射机/多接收机收发器的FHSS系统。这样的收发器被配置为接收多个FHSS信道（例如，五个信道），但是仅在一个信道上发送。在一个实施例中，一个信道专用于高优先级业务，而另外四个信道专用于标准业务。在接收到高优先级消息时，收发器被配置为首先寻址高优先级流量。例如，由于单个发射机/多个接收机收发器仅具有一个发射机，所以这种收发机可以立即将其发送资源用于寻址所接收的高优先级数据。公开了在多个通信信道中实现多个优先级的其它实施例。

摘要： Techniques are disclosed by which RF mesh networks can identify utility distribution topologies by using power line communication combined with wireless networking to identify the mapping of transformers and other distribution equipment at a back office system server. At a specified time, an item of distribution equipment signals a unique identifier by introducing a phase shift in the electric power being delivered by that equipment. A meter node detects and decodes these temporal shifts to obtain an identifier of equipment supplying the power to it. Upon ascertaining this identification, the meter node sends an acknowledgment to thereby register with that equipment. The association of the particular customer's premises with the equipment is also sent to a back office system, to enable a map of the correspondence between meter and the equipment to be generated.

摘要： Methods and systems for providing a network and routing protocol for utility services are disclosed. A method includes discovering a utility network. Neighboring nodes are discovered and the node listens for advertised routes for networks from the neighbors. The node is then registered with one or more utility networks, receiving a unique address for each network registration. Each upstream node can independently make forwarding decisions on both upstream and downstream packets, i.e., choose the next hop according to the best information available to it. The node can sense transient link problems, outage problems and traffic characteristics. Information is used to find the best route out of and within each network. Each network node maintains multi-egress, multi-ingress network routing options both for itself and the node(s) associated with it. The node is capable of several route maintenance functions utilizing the basic routing protocol and algorithms.

摘要： Methods and devices are disclosed for dynamically fragmenting packets transmitted in a communications network. Fragments are generated by splitting a packet based on a value of a fragment size parameter. A first fragment is sent to a receiving node. As the sending node, a transmission success parameter is determined that indicates whether the first fragment was successfully received. Based on the value of the transmission success parameter, a link quality parameter value representing a chance a second fragment having the same size as the first fragment will be successfully received by the receiving node is updated. The sending node compares the value of the link quality parameter and a value of a quality threshold parameter and changes the value of the fragment size parameter based on a result of the comparison.

摘要： The service phase of the electrical connection to a customer endpoint device located within a power distribution system is determined by various techniques. At the feeder level, the system may be programmed to induce disturbances, thereby causing missed zero crossings at the customer endpoint devices. The pattern of these disturbances is a controlled one, designed specifically to avoid causing noticeable disruption even to sensitive devices, but to be unusual enough that it is statistically unlikely to be naturally occurring. The monitoring of the zero crossing information is used to determine the phase of the service line to the customer endpoint devices.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for a node within a network to adjust one or more routing parameters based on certain network parameters. A node monitors certain network metrics such as the mean time between routing drops. In response to changes in these network parameters, the node changes certain routing parameters, such as the holddown time. The node may store network metrics and associated routing parameters that result in preferred network operating conditions. The node may pre-load these beneficial settings upon the occurrence of a particular condition such as a system reset of the node. Moreover, a node may share these beneficial settings with neighboring nodes on the same network. One advantage of this approach is that cost savings are achieved when a node within a network may be installed without preconfiguring the node with specific routing parameters.
摘要翻译：本发明的一个实施例阐述了一种用于网络内的节点基于特定网络参数来调整一个或多个路由参数的技术。节点监视某些网络度量，例如路由下降之间的平均时间。响应于这些网络参数的变化，节点会更改某些路由参数，如保持时间。节点可以存储导致优选网络操作条件的网络度量和相关联的路由参数。节点可以在出现诸如节点的系统重置的特定条件时预加载这些有益设置。此外，节点可以与相同网络上的相邻节点共享这些有益的设置。这种方法的一个优点是，当网络中的节点可以安装而不预先配置具有特定路由参数的节点时，可以实现成本节省。
