  • Shadow access point for hierarchical tree network using 802.11 infrastructure nodes in fire detection systems and other systems
    Patent number: 11032874
    Abstract: A system includes first and second access points. Each access point includes one or more 802.11 wireless radios configured to communicate with a wireless node. The first and second access points are both configured to wirelessly receive first data from the wireless node at substantially a same time and forward the first data. The first and second access points are also both configured to receive second data for the wireless node. The first access point is configured to wirelessly transmit the second data to the wireless node, and the second access point is configured to refrain from transmitting the second data to the wireless node while the first access point is operating properly.

  • Hierarchical tree network using TDMA protocol with 802.11 infrastructure nodes for fire detection systems and other systems
    Patent number: 9380638
    Abstract: A system includes multiple nodes, where each node includes one or more 802.11 wireless radios. The nodes are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure in which one or more nodes residing in one level of the tree structure are configured to communicate with one or more nodes residing in another level of the tree structure to propagate information in the tree structure. At least a first of the nodes is configured to operate its associated radio(s) in an 802.11 access point mode and in an 802.11 station mode. The first node is configured to relay data to and from one or more nodes in a lower level of the tree structure using the 802.11 access point mode. The first node is further configured to transmit data to and receive data from one or more nodes in a higher level of the tree structure using the 802.11 station mode.
