Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a wireless router or residential gateway to distinguish power-sensitive wireless sensors and provide separate treatments thereto for low power consumption connections. In some embodiments, a network device includes a wireless network circuit, and control circuitry coupled to the network circuit and configured to, upon receipt of a request of connection from a client, identify whether the client is power-sensitive. The network device can further cause, if the client is identified as power-sensitive, the power-sensitive client to connect using a low-power connection while maintaining a regular connection to other regular clients. The low-power connection can be operated on a first channel different from but in a same frequency band as a second channel on which the regular connection is operated.

Abstract: In a communication system network that includes a central controller that is operably coupled to a processing multiplexer switch, system configuration information may be transferred between the central controller and the processing multiplexer by establishing a communication link between the central controller and the processing multiplexer switch. Once the link is established, the central controller requests site interface configuration information from the processing multiplexer. The site interface information indicates the status of the interfaces and the type of site coupled to the interface. Once this has been relayed to the central controller, the central controller determines the particular type of site coupled to the site interface. If the site is of a first site type, the central controller assigns the link between the site and the site interface a unique link address.
