    Abstract: A cluster tree network formed by self-organization of a number of nodes. The method of self-organization includes processes for cluster formation, cluster network maintenance, intra-cluster communication. In the cluster formation process, each node discovers if any neighboring node is a cluster head or if any node is already a member of a cluster (thus making it a networked node), and if a cluster head or a networked node is discovered, each node establishes a communication link with the cluster head or the networked node. If no cluster head or networked node is discovered, the node itself becomes a cluster head. The network is maintained by each node periodically broadcasting a HELLO message to neighboring nodes, receiving responses to the HELLO message and updating a neighbor list in accordance with responses to the HELLO message. Multi-cluster networks are also provided using the processes of inter-cluster network formation, inter-cluster network maintenance, and inter-cluster communication. The resulting network has one or more clusters of nodes, each with a cluster head and a number of member nodes, each assigned a node identifier by the cluster head. In a multi-cluster network, a designated device assigns identifies to each cluster head in the network. Border nodes, which are members of at least two clusters, act as routers connecting the clusters and relaying information packets between the clusters.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and device provide for the detection of insufficient supplied power supplied to a device. A current multiplier of the device, operable as a voltage regulator, is coupled to the power source, receives a clock signal, and generates a control signal. A digital counter, clocked by the clock signal and reset by the control signal, generates an overflow output in response to an overflow condition of the digital counter that indicates that the current sourcing capability of the power source has fallen below a current threshold of the device. A compensatory response by the device in response to the detection of insufficient supplied power may be provided as well.

    Abstract: A technique (300) and apparatus for sharing frequency spectrum amongst cognitive radios is provided. By maintaining an unoccupied spectral quantum between each CR device, the channel technique ensures that a device just beginning transmissions in the CR frequency band will have spectrum from which to start growing. The growth can continue up to the maximum the spectrum can support, when the bandwidth of each device has been reduced to one spectral quantum, and there are no available spectral quanta left.

    Abstract: A method, system, network and device provide Smart Grid Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) detection. One or more symbols or chips present in one or more received radio frequency signals are detected and the presence of one or more erred symbols or chips in the detected one or more symbols present in the received one or more radio frequency signals determined. A correlation in time between the one or more erred symbols or chips and an infrastructure waveform associated with electrical infrastructure can be determined. When the determined correlation indicates the electrical infrastructure as a source of detectable radio frequency interference to a device, a pattern flag is generated. The pattern flag or pattern flag representation can be stored and/or transmitted.

    Abstract: A low power consumption protocol for low power communication devices attached to an asynchronous network is described. In this protocol, a communication device is used as a high communication duty cycle Mediation Device (MD), thus permitting other communication devices to use a low communication duty cycle framing structure. The MD functions as a storage and retrieval service for messages between two devices when one device is not able to communicate. When the previously unavailable device becomes available, it can check in with the MD to retrieve any missed messages and respond to these messages accordingly. In a communication network, each of the low power communication devices can be configured to behave as MD's for a small amount of time. Sharing this responsibility among all communication devices in the network allows each device to maintain an low average communication duty cycle. This technique is applicable to a low power, low cost, zero-configuring, self-organizing, asynchronous network.

    Abstract: A peak and valley measuring circuit (40) featuring a single digital-to-analog converter (DAC) (100), a peak counter (110), a valley counter (120), and a comparator (130). The peak and valley measuring circuit (40) uses the peak counter (110) when detecting peaks of the recovered audio signal and the valley counter (120) when detecting valleys of the recovered audio signal. The DAC (100) is used in conjunction with one of the counters (110) or (120) depending on whether peaks or valleys are being detected, and is preferably a current-mode DAC.
