  • Method and apparatus for controlling a home wireless system
    Patent number: 10462685
    Abstract: A method and a system of controlling a home wireless system wherein the home wireless system comprises a plurality of peripheral wireless nodes (14; 16; 19; 21; 23) and a first gateway (12) having wireless communication means for communicating with. The method includes installing at least one second gateway (12?; 32) in the home wireless system, broadcasting an identification message from a peripheral wireless node (14; 16; 19; 21; 23) searching for a controlling gateway in a link establishment process, and receiving in each of the first gateway (12) and the at least one second gateway (12?) the identification message.
