  • Patent number: 10932264
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a system for adjusting a communication channel based on a signal scan result. The system includes wireless gateway modules, a wireless transceiver module and a control circuit. The control circuit determines whether or not the wireless transceiver module conducts any transmission task. The wireless transceiver module is activated to scan signals over a selected frequency when it is available. Multiple scan results can be obtained when the scanning process is repeatedly conducted in different frequencies. Signal information is recorded in a signal scan table. Thus, if the system determines the frequency needs to be adjusted based on a transmission status, one of the frequencies recorded in the table can be chosen and set for the wireless gateway module and a transmission frequency for a terminal node is modified.

  • Patent number: 10779352
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a multi-gateway communication method. The method is applied to a wireless gateway system that includes multiple nodes including a number of gateways. A root gateway is provided among the gateways. When a gateway receives an uplink data from a node, the uplink data is transmitted to a backend server if the gateway is the root gateway. The uplink data is transmitted to a parent gateway if the gateway is not the root gateway. On the other hand, when the gateway receives downlink data from a node, it is determined if a destination node is recorded in a downlink routing table of a descendant gateway if gateway is not connected with the destination node but with the descendant gateway. If the destination node is recorded in the downlink routing table, the data is transmitted to the descendant gateway; otherwise, the downlink data is discarded.

  • Patent number: 10750344
    Abstract: A wireless communication system, a communication method, and a portable transceiver device are provided. The wireless communication system includes a server, a plurality of gateway devices and user-end portable transceivers that are interconnected by a wireless WAN protocol, e.g. LoRa. Each portable transceiver connects a user device via a near-end wireless communication protocol that allows the user device to connect with the server via a gateway device. After the user device sends a message through the portable transceiver, the server discovers another portable transceiver and another gateway device according to a destination address. Thereby, the message can be transmitted via this connection, or a direct voice communication can be performed via a communication channel over this connection. The communication system therefore provides a communication service under the wireless WAN protocol that is an alternative to traditional mobile communications.
