    摘要: A system and/or method for relaying messages in a network (e.g. a mobile network) are provided. Certain portable communications nodes are instrumented with omni-directional antennas. Certain static communications nodes are network cluster-head nodes with directional antennas, and, for example, achieve much of the gain possible when all nodes have directional antennas. Cluster-head communications preferably are used when the nodes are separable by the directional antennas. Preferably, there is a transition to mesh communications when the nodes cannot take advantage of the directional antennas. One feature of certain exemplary embodiments is that only one side of a communication link requires a directional antennal to enable spatial frequency reuse.

    摘要: A spread spectrum protocol in a power line communication (PLC) system uses Harmonic Modulation (HM) as true spread spectrum modulation made up of a plurality of modulated tones spaced in frequency with equal distance between adjacent tones. The protocol incorporates the following modes:"Conventional"--Master/Slave relation of meters to a common hub."Leap Frog"--performing data relay through locally elected/designated meters for relay to a central hub or a distributed set of concentrators."Alarm Channel"--reserving an HM signal set for meters to telemeter their configuration in a subnetwork after a power distribution network reconfiguration."Probing"--using HM polling to diagnose the location of a feeder fault."Derived Timing"--master derived timing for inbound message framing."Rate Adapting"--allocating a mix of number of HM channels to the outbound/inbound ratio according to message traffic control requirements and power line distribution topology."Priority/Noise Based Adapting"--allocating a different mix of number of HM channels to the outbound/inbound ratio based on message priority or noise conditions.

    摘要: A method of prioritizing messages on a Local Area Network comprises receiving a digitized incoming message, comparing a message signature of the incoming message with a stored priority message signature, passing non-priority messages to a standard Ethernet protocol stack for processing, storing priority messages temporarily, preventing priority messages from being processed in the standard Ethernet protocol stack, and handling priority messages using a simplified protocol stack designed to process a specific data packet type. This method may be performed by an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) inserted between an Ethernet PHY layer and Ethernet MAC layer on a Network Interface Card of a host device. In particular, automated machinery control systems using the Ethernet protocol for networking are intended to benefit from the prioritizing method and implementation.
