  • Publication number: 20240332772
    Abstract: A wiring board has a built-in post wall waveguide having a region surrounded by two mutually opposing conductors and first and second post walls connecting the two conductors and serving as a transmission path for electromagnetic waves. The conductors oppose each other with insulating layers interposed therebetween. The first post wall has first columnar portions, formed by a laminate of via interconnects penetrating the insulating layers, arranged at predetermined intervals in a first direction in which the electromagnetic waves are transmitted. The second post wall has second columnar portions similar to the first columnar portions. In a cross sectional view taken in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, an interval between adjacent via interconnects in one of the insulating layers not in contact with the conductor is wider than an interval between adjacent via interconnects in two of the insulating layers in contact with the two conductors, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20240319978
    Abstract: A network manager is provided for delivering a firmware/software program to multi-mode nodes and single-mode nodes arranged in a multi-hop wireless IoT network. The network manager includes a transceiver configured to perform wireless communication by transmitting the encoded packets of the firmware/software program to the first-hop nodes. The network manager divides firmware/software program into source blocks, encodes the source blocks into encoded blocks based on coding scheme, packs the encoded blocks into encoded packets, transmits the encoded packets to the first-hop nodes. In this case, the first-hop nodes are configured to receive, decode, re-encode and re-transmit the encoded packets to propagate firmware/software distribution to the other-hop nodes. The network manager keeps broadcasting the encoded packets to the first-hop nodes until a predetermined percent of the first-hop nodes receive the firmware/software program.
