    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a frequency hopping communication network transmits responsive beacon messages based on adaptive types of responsive beacon message transmission based on a number of received beacon requests within a given time period: the number below a threshold results in synchronized unicast messages; the number above the threshold results in unsynchronized broadcast messages. In another embodiment, the device suppresses unsolicited beacon message transmission based on a density-aware redundancy count of other unsolicited beacon message transmissions from neighboring devices. In another embodiment, the device may transmit unsolicited beacon messages according to an adaptive interval based on stability of the network. In another embodiment, the device may suppress transmission of a beacon request to join the communication network based on a density-aware redundancy count of other beacon requests from neighboring devices, and transmits beacon requests at an adaptive interval that increases in response to each unanswered beacon request.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a frequency hopping communication network operate in a first mode according to a common broadcast schedule for the network that simultaneously overlays a first configured portion of all independently determined unicast listening schedules in the network. In response to determining a power outage condition, the device switches to operation in a power outage mode where the common broadcast schedule for the network in the power outage mode simultaneously overlays a second configured portion of all independently determined unicast listening schedules in the network, the second configured portion greater than the first configured portion. In one embodiment, the device broadcasts one or more power outage notifications (PONs) in response to determining the power outage condition as a reduction of a main power supply at the device. In another embodiment, the device receives a PON while powered as the power outage condition.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, each of a plurality of devices in a computer network is configured to i) transmit a unicasted dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) solicit message to a neighbor device having a route to a border router as an assumed DHCP relay without regard to location of a DHCP server, and ii) operate as a DHCP relay to receive unicasted DHCP solicit messages and relay the solicit message to the border router of the network without regard to location of the DHCP server, and to relay a DHCP reply to a corresponding requestor device.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for the controlled scheduling of the authentication of devices in a lossy network, such as a mesh network. An authenticator device that is configured to authenticate devices in a lossy network receives an authentication start message from a particular device to be authenticated. The authenticator device determines a schedule for engaging in an authentication procedure for the particular device based on an indication of current network utilization.

    Abstract: A system and method stores wirelessly received communications for wireless retransmission, making space in a storage device, if necessary, by deleting any one or more communications corresponding to the same group as the received communication. If storage in the storage device remains insufficient, communications that have been previously retransmitted by that same device are deleted, according to one or more characteristics of such stored communications, such as age or number of times an instance of that communication has been received. If storage in the storage device remains insufficient, communications of a different group are deleted according to one or more characteristics of the stored communications.

    Abstract: A system and method communicates commands from a command originator to receiving devices, yet the receiving devices do not confirm receipt of the command. The most current command (e.g. the one with the highest sequence number) is rebroadcast by the command originator and the receiving devices, tending to be more frequent upon detection of an event indicating that the most current command was not received by at least one other device, and less frequently upon detection of an event indicating that the most current command was provided with sufficient duplication that if another device could receive it, the device likely did receive it, subject to a maximum and minimum rate.
