Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for routing information from a source node to a target node in a mesh communicating network comprising a plurality of nodes. Each node comprises a transceiver circuitry and is configured to communicate wirelessly with adjacent nodes. The method comprises: setting a data communication rate for each node, estimating a number of transmissions, ETX, needed for a successful link-local transaction between adjacent nodes in the network, determining alternative routes between the source node and the target node, via one or more transit nodes, determining a rank between the source node and the target node for each alternative routes based on ETX and data communication rate for each transit nodes, and routing information using the route having the lowest rank.

Abstract: A wireless mesh network and a method of reducing for reducing a sampling rate of a streaming protocol in a multi-hop mesh network is disclosed. The method comprising: receiving, by a source node in the mesh network, an input data stream; generating, by the source node, a plurality of sample frames from the received input data stream, each of the plurality of sample frames having a sample rate that can be handled by the mesh network, transmitting the plurality of the sample frames to one or more sink nodes and reconstructing the input data stream from the plurality of sample frames received at the one or more sink nodes. The input data stream may be received from an application outside the mesh network or from an application in the source node. The reconstruction may use interpolation, which may be dynamically varied, and may be informed by metadata transmitted from the original source node.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for distributing software upgrade in a communication network (30). The communication network comprises a plurality of nodes (N1-N5) and each node is configured to execute a node specific version of software and is configured to communicate with one or more neighbouring nodes.

Abstract: A system and method a wireless remote control solution is implemented in an integrated circuit (IC) and that IC is specified to the controller manufacturer. The controller manufacturer provides an IC-compatible electromechanical interface in communication with a central processing unit (CPU) of the controller. When the manufacturer is ready to implement a wireless solution, the IC is installed into the IC-compatible electromechanical interface. Different wireless solutions and/or protocols are enabled by the manufacturer's choice of IC that is installed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless network 30; 60 including at least two subnets 31-34; 61-63. Each subnet comprises a plurality of units 21, 22 configured to wirelessly communicate with each other. The wireless network is configured to select a local set of communication parameters CP1, CP3 for internal communication within each subnet in such a way that internal communication within neighboring subnets uses different local sets of communication parameters to prevent interference between neighboring subnets, and to select at least one common set of communication parameters CP2 for each subnet to be used when communicating between subnets in the wireless network 30; 60. The invention also relates to a method for adapting a wireless network, a method for forming a wireless network and a communication unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for selecting operating frequency channels having frequency parameters, such as a frequency interval or at least one carrier frequency, for a network communicating data over a shared medium. The network is configured to communicate within a frequency range, and the frequency range is divided into a plurality of frequency channels f1-fn, each frequency channel defines a predetermined frequency parameter. The data to be communicated over the network is divided into sequences FS, each sequence having a plurality of positions SP1-SPm. The method further comprises regularly scanning the frequency range to identify interfering frequencies generated by interfering networks operating within said shared medium, and assigning a frequency channel fk to each position SPi within the sequences FS based on the identified interfering frequencies, whereby the use of interfering frequencies is limited.
