International Classification:

H04W 76/14
H04W 4/80
H04W 4/23
G07C 9/00

Abstract:

A method for data transfer includes establishing a first wireless connection between a transceiver and a handheld device, the transceiver initially operating in an peripheral role and the handheld device operating in a central role; switching a role of both the transceiver and the handheld device in response to establishing the first wireless connection, the transceiver module switching from the peripheral role to the central role, and the handheld device from the central role to the peripheral role; and establishing a second wireless connection between the transceiver and the handheld device subsequent to the switching.

Abstract:

A method for a network including a plurality of nodes, the method including: detecting, at a first node (N), that a second node (N) is a failed node; recording, at the first node, that the second node is a failed node and that a first path is unavailable; switching, at the first node, to a second path, the second path including a third node (N); checking, at the first node, the hop count of the third node, wherein the third node is the next hop on the second path; generating an information packet at the first node, wherein the information packet comprises a unique ID of the failed node and the hop count of the first node; broadcasting the information packet from the first node (N) to one or more one-hop neighbouring nodes (N, N, N) of the first node.

H04W 4/80
H04W 76/11

Abstract:

A method for handling a broadcast data packet using a network () including a plurality of nodes (NH, N, N, N, N, N, N), the method including: receiving, at a sending node, the broadcast data packet; checking, at the sending node, whether the broadcast data packet has been received at the sending node on a previous occasion, wherein if the sending node has not previously received the broadcast data packet the sending node enters a broadcast delivery mode, the broadcast delivery mode including: switching to a scan mode to listen for advertisements from other nodes in the network; starting a timer; wherein upon receipt of an advertisement from a neighbouring node the sending node sends an instance of the broadcast data packet to the neighbouring node and resets the timer.
