  • Publication number: 20240340095
    Abstract: A management system may analyze signal strengths of signals received, from a plurality of devices, by a first device located in a first location of an enclosed structure. The management system may determine, based on analyzing the signal strengths, that a first subset of devices are located outside of the enclosed structure and that a second subset of devices are located inside of the structure. The second subset of devices include a second device and a third device that are stationary. The management system may determine that the first signal strength, of the second device, has increased by an attenuation value and that the second signal strength, of the third device, has decreased by the attenuation value. The management system may determine that the first device has been relocated based on the first signal strength increasing by the attenuation value and the second signal strength decreasing by the attenuation value.

  • Patent number: 9648548
    Abstract: A wireless mesh network is configured. Each node is configured to function as either a gateway node or a relay node. To configure itself as a gateway node, an access node selects an SSID for each of its wireless interfaces that indicates it is an access node. When a relay access node is configuring itself, it scans for the SSIDs of available networks. The SSIDs of the mesh network are selected to indicate the number of other access points between a given access node and a direct wired connection (which is zero in the case of a gateway node.) The relay access node connects to the network having an SSID that indicates the fewest number of hops between itself and a direct wired connection. The SSID that is broadcast by the relay access node indicates the number of other access points between itself and a direct wired connection.
