摘要： An automatic meter reading (AMR) system utilizes versatile radio packets that are recognizable by AMR system receivers capable of receiving conventional interval data message (IDM) radio packets. A versatile radio packet includes a packet preamble portion, a packet body portion, and a packet validation portion. The packet preamble portion has a frame synchronization bit sequence that is recognizable by existing or conventional encoder-receiver-transmitter (ERT)-compatible AMR system receivers, such as a bit sequence equal to 0x16A3. The packet preamble portion also has a packet type identifier field and a packet length field. The packet body portion includes at least an endpoint serial number field and a message, where at least the message has a variable length. Optionally, the message includes a message type identifier field and a message value field that can have a plurality of sub-fields. The AMR system may use message type identifiers optionally present in the versatile radio packets to filter, or discriminate between, certain message types at the reader level. Versatile radio packets can enable endpoints and other devices in the AMR system to transmit a variety of new information to existing AMR infrastructure without having to conduct a significant infrastructure overhaul of the AMR system.
摘要翻译：自动抄表（AMR）系统利用能够接收常规间隔数据消息（IDM）无线电分组的AMR系统接收机可识别的多功能无线电分组。多功能无线电分组包括分组前导码部分，分组主体部分和分组确认部分。分组前导码部分具有可由现有的或常规的编码器 - 接收机 - 发射机（ERT）兼容的AMR系统接收机（诸如等于0x16A3的比特序列）识别的帧同步比特序列。分组前导码部分还具有分组类型标识符字段和分组长度字段。分组主体部分至少包括端点序列号字段和消息，其中至少该消息具有可变长度。可选地，消息包括消息类型标识符字段和可以具有多个子字段的消息值字段。 AMR系统可以使用可选地存在于通用无线电分组中的消息类型标识符来在读取器级别过滤或区分某些消息类型。多功能无线电分组可以使AMR系统中的端点和其他设备能够向现有的AMR基础设施传输各种新信息，而无需对AMR系统进行重大的基础设施检修。

摘要： Disclosed are methodology and corresponding apparatus subject matters for providing improved efficiency in the collection of data from a large number of metrology devices associated with an Automated Meter reading (AMR) network. AMR network operation produces randomly spaced transmissions from individual nodes in the network. When an AMR system wishes to retrieve data from a large number of points over an AMR network, a broadcast or multicast request is transmitted to appropriate nodes. A time window is defined either in such request or in the devices themselves such that start and end offsets from the time of the request are received by the node. The start offset provides a quiet period to insure request delivery to all the appropriate nodes. The end offset provides a time by which the requested data must be returned. Responses are sent randomly within the window established by the start and stop offset times.
