Abstract: A system (100) to reduce congestion in an access control wireless mesh network, the system (100) comprising: a plurality of nodes (102) such that each node of the plurality of nodes (102) is coupled to one or more neighbouring nodes, and configured to store a mapping between a plurality of credentials associated with each neighbouring node of the one or more neighbouring nodes; and control circuitry (104) that is coupled to the plurality of nodes (102), and configured to: transmit a read request to each node of the plurality of nodes (102); receive, in response to the read request, from each node of the plurality of nodes (102), the plurality of credentials associated with the one or more neighboring nodes; generate a node mapping based on the received plurality of credentials; and generate a routing path for each node of the plurality of nodes (102) based on the node mapping.

Abstract: Disclose is a system (100), the system (100) including: the access devices (102) configured to communicate within; wherein a first access device (102a) of the access devices (102) is configured to generate a health message (154) and a control circuitry (104) that is coupled to the access devices (102), and configured to read an initial device time from the health message (154), thereafter compare the initial device time with a controller time, thereafter determine first auto drift correction parameters based on a result of the comparison, wherein a first time correction is applied to the initial device time to generate an intermediate device time; and compare the intermediate device time with the controller time and determine second auto drift correction parameters, wherein a second time correction is applied to the intermediate device time to generate a final device time.
