Abstract: It is provided a method for routing data in a communication network (8). The method being performed by a routing node (3). The method comprises: receiving (40) an uplink message from an end node (2) over a multicast wireless transmission; forwarding (42) the uplink message towards a destination node over a unicast transmission; receiving (44) a downlink message over a unicast transmission; determining (46) that a recipient of the downlink message is the end node (2); and transmitting (48) the downlink message over multicast to the end node (2). Corresponding routing node, gateway, computer programs and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for access control systems includes first and second access facilities, and first and second readers. The first reader is configured to control access through the first access facility, receive a credential using a first communication protocol from a device that stores the credential, and establish a secret with the device using the credential. The second reader is configured to control access through the second access facility. The first reader is configured to provide the secret to the second reader, and the second device is further configured to perform ranging using the secret and a second communication protocol different than the first communication protocol to identify intent information. Access through one of the first facility or the second facility is coordinated using the intent information.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for a physical access control systems with localization-based intent detection are described herein. In an example, an access control system may regulate access to an asset. The access control system is adapted to establish a first connection with a key-device. The access control system may be further adapted to receive a credential for a user over the first connection. The access control system may be further adapted to establish a second connection with the key-device. The access control system may be further adapted to determine an intent of the user to access the asset. The access control system may use location data derived from the second connection to determine the intent of the user. The access control system may be further adapted to provide the credential to an access controller, based on identifying an intent of the user to access the asset.
