International Classification:

H04W 40/12
H04W 40/10
H04W 40/34

Abstract:

A method of operating an access control system including a plurality of access controls each operating as a node including: receiving a node information from one or more nodes of the access control system, the one or more nodes including an origination node and a destination node; determining one or more routes between the origination node and the destination node in response to the node information or a minimum hop distance between the originating node and the head node and a minimum hop distance between any intermediate routing node and the head node; receiving a reroute message indicating a failed node between the destination node and the origination node; and determining an alternate path from the origination node to the destination node around the failed node in response to the one or more routes.

International Classification:

H04W 84/18
H04L 12/703
H04W 40/28

Abstract:

A method for operating a wireless network including a plurality of nodes, the method including: each node generating a set of paths to a head node; initiating an adaptive failure recovery method in the event of a source node sending a message data packet upstream and a discovery node encountering a failed node, wherein the discovery node is a node on a path taken by the message data packet from the source node to a destination node, the adaptive recovery failure method including: collecting, at the discovery node, relevant data, the relevant data comprising: a hop-distance between the failed node and the source node; a count of estimated extra hops required to deliver the data packet using a hop-distance recovery method; a count of estimated extra hops required to deliver the data packet using a multipath recovery method; and a latency time for the hop-distance recovery method.

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.

H04L 12/733
H04W 40/28
H04W 40/34
H04B 17/318

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.
