Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure sets forth a technique for resolving beaconing conflicts within a network. The technique includes detecting, by a first node in a network, a first scheduling conflict between a first time when a first beacon is to be transmitted from the first node and a first listening window when a second beacon is expected to be received from a second node in the network; determining, by the first node in response to detecting the first scheduling conflict and based on an expected transmission time for the second beacon and a position of the second node in the network, an alternate listening window during which to listen for a third beacon from the second node; and listening, by the first node, for the third beacon from the second node during the alternate listening window.

Abstract: A method and system for managing demand and electricity supply are disclosed. A distributed energy resource optimizer (DERO) of the system may determine demand for electricity associated with a plurality of premises connected to an electrical grid where the plurality of premises includes one or more distributed generation systems, determine available electricity supply for the plurality of premises, and compare the demand with the available electricity supply. In response to determining that the demand is higher than the available electricity supply, the DERO may cause one or more storage devices associated with the one or more distributed generation systems to supply electricity to the plurality of premises. In response to determining that the demand is lower than the available electricity supply, the DERO may cause the one or more storage devices to store excess electricity supply.

Abstract: Techniques for determining network reliability include a first node in a mesh network computing a received message success rate for a connection from the first node to a second node that is a neighbor node to the first node; receiving from the second node, a first accumulated received message success rate, wherein the first accumulated received message success rate comprises a value indicating a success rate associated with a path from a source to the second node; computing, based on the first accumulated received message success rate and the received message success rate, a second accumulated received message success rate for a route from the source to the first node using the path from the source to the second node; selecting, based on the second accumulated received message success rate, the second node from a plurality of neighbor nodes; and receiving a message from the source via the second node.

Abstract: A method of traffic shaping on an adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) data link may include, with a traffic shaping configuration agent, fetching from a neighbor routing table stored on a network interface card (NIC) data defining a first modulation of a data link and a first physical layer data transmission rate associated with a first media access control (MAC) address. The traffic shaping configuration agent may further identify a first maximum achievable goodput for the first modulation and the first physical layer data transmission rate and reconfigure an operating system (OS) traffic shaping implementation based on the first maximum achievable goodput.

Abstract: Techniques for transmitting data include a network device receiving a message, the message comprising data to be transmitted from the network device; storing the message in a buffer of the network device. During an open data session window, the network device: extracts the message from the buffer; and transmits, using a transmitter of the network device, at least data included in the message to a transceiver of the network device. The transceiver is configured to transmit the data outside of the network device. In response to determining that a header of the message includes a last message indicator, the network device: delays for a period of time; and after the period of time, instructs the transceiver to end the data session window early and transition to a lower power state.

Abstract: In an electrical grid, several electricity meters may be associated with the same transformer, and may measure electricity sold to respective customers. In an example, one electricity meter executes manager software, while the other electricity meters execute agent software. One or more applications operated on each electricity meter, and control metrology devices, data processing, operation of radio(s) and/or a powerline communications modem, aspects of electrical phase determination, etc. The agent software operating on each electricity meter may relay messages from applications operating on that electricity meter to other (possibly similar) applications operating on other electricity meters. Each message sent by each instantiation of agent software may include a networking score of that electricity meter. The manager software may additionally communicate with a data collector and/or main office server(s). The manager software may select a replacement meter from among those connected to the same transformer to assume the role of executing manager software.

Abstract: The disclosure describes three complimentary, synergistically interacting, and yet individually capable techniques for detecting electrical vehicle charging activities. In one example, convolutional neural network techniques find “edges” or points of significant change in electricity consumption. Time-series of electricity consumption are examined, and temperature is considered to normalize for changes in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning consumption. In an example, a time-series of electrical-consumption data of a service site is obtained over a time-range. The time-series of electrical-consumption data is converted into a time-series of consumption-change data. Temperature data may be associated with terms of the time-series of consumption-change data to thereby create input data for a machine-learned algorithm over the time-range. The input data is provided to a machine-learned model. The input data is processed over the time-range in the machine-learned model to generate output, such as a likelihood value of at least one EV charging event during the time-range.
