Patent number: 11115881Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating communications in heterogeneous networks that include different data networks. A gateway device is configured to communicate with a first network using a TSCH protocol and with a second network using a channel hopping CSMA protocol. The gateway device can determine, during a first part of a TSCH timeslot, whether a message is received from the first network. If no message is received, the gateway device switches to the second network during a second part of the timeslot. If the gateway device receives a message from the second network, the gateway device may continue to receive the message. The receipt of the message in the second network may continue into a subsequent TSCH timeslot or may be interrupted if certain conditions are met.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Landis+Gyr Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Hett, James Patrick Hanley

Patent number: 11115305Abstract: A mobile radio network node sends echo request messages to a defined end-point node via a link in a radio communications network. Based on return messages generated in response to the echo request messages a capacity of the link is estimated. The echo request messages contain standardized first and second test messages, where the first test message includes a first amount of data, and the second test message includes a second amount of data exceeding the first amount of data. The capacity of a link in terms of an amount of data communicated per unit time is estimated based on an amount of residue data corresponding to a difference between the second and first amounts of data, and a difference between first and second time intervals.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: AIRMOBILE ABInventors: Karol Krol, Mathias Björkvall
