  • Patent number: 10708001
    Abstract: A packet is received from a first link, and includes identification of a sender and a destination. An acknowledgement of receiving the packet is transmitted toward the sender, and the packet is forwarded, over a second link, toward the destination. A copy of the packet is stored in a queue. Upon detecting that the destination failed to receive the packet forwarded over the second link, the copy of the packet is retrieved from the queue and re-transmitted over the second link to the destination.

  • Patent number: 10609147
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network determines behavioral profiles of a plurality of nodes in the network. The behavioral profile for a particular node indicates whether the node is an occasional transmitter or a periodic transmitter. The device identifies similarly behaving nodes based on their behavioral profiles. The device assigns groups of the nodes to uplink transmission windows based on their behavioral profiles. The similarly behaving nodes that are periodic transmitters are assigned to the same uplink transmission windows and similarly behaving nodes that are occasional transmitters are assigned to different uplink transmission windows. The device controls the plurality of nodes to use their assigned uplink transmission windows via target wake time values sent to the plurality of nodes.
