Abstract: A new device is deployed to an area in which a network is provided. The new device may join the network using a single handshake via a neighboring device that is a member of the network and register with a network management system managing the network. If the network is overloaded or has limited bandwidth remaining, the network may refuse to admit the new device, or if the new device is isolated, may force some devices that are members of the network to leave or migrate from the network to allow the isolated device to join the network.
Abstract translation: 将新设备部署到提供网络的区域。 新设备可以通过作为网络成员的相邻设备使用单个握手加入网络，并且与管理网络的网络管理系统注册。 如果网络过载或者剩余的带宽有限，则网络可能会拒绝接纳新设备，或者如果新设备被隔离，则可能会迫使作为网络成员的某些设备离开网络或从网络迁移以允许隔离 设备加入网络。

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to minimize the electricity consumption of battery powered devices during network communications and performance of other functions. Example techniques include efficiently discovering other mains powered and battery powered devices within communication range of the battery powered device. In another example, techniques enable a battery powered device to serve as a relay for one or more other battery powered devices. In another example, techniques ensure that transmissions to and/or from battery powered devices are delivered efficiently and with low latency. In yet another example, techniques determine whether and under what conditions a battery powered device should migrate from one network to another. In the event of migration, example techniques minimize battery consumption associated with the migration.

Abstract: In a network environment, a node may measure and/or recognize network activity or congestion and send feedback to downstream nodes (i.e., higher rank nodes) in response. During periods of lower network activity, lower congestion and/or lower network load, the feedback may direct an upstream flow of packets to be transmitted at a quality of service (QoS) level that allows consumption of more bandwidth than is indicated by a QoS level associated with a service level agreement (SLA) of the upstream flow of packets. During periods of higher network activity, congestion and/or network load, the feedback may limit the upstream flow of packets to the QoS level associated with the SLA of the upstream flow of packets. Accordingly, an upstream node (e.g., a root node) may use feedback to regulate bandwidth used by one or more downstream nodes and/or flows of packets, in part using network activity, congestion and/or bandwidth availability.
Abstract translation: 在网络环境中，节点可以测量和/或识别网络活动或拥塞，并且响应地向下游节点（即，更高级节点）发送反馈。 在较低的网络活动期间，较低的拥塞和/或较低的网络负载期间，反馈可以引导要按照服务质量（QoS）级别发送的数据包的上行流，从而允许消耗比QoS级别所指示的更多带宽 与分组的上行流的服务水平协议（SLA）相关联。 在更高的网络活动，拥塞和/或网络负载期间，反馈可以将分组的上行流量限制为与分组的上游流的SLA相关联的QoS水平。 因此，部分地使用网络活动，拥塞和/或带宽可用性，上游节点（例如，根节点）可以使用反馈来调节一个或多个下游节点和/或分组流使用的带宽。

Abstract: In a wireless and/or power line communication (PLC) network environment, techniques for multicast of data and management of multicast groups assist in regulating bandwidth consumption and provision of desired multicast data. Nodes indicate interest in multicast groups by transmission of reports upstream. Report transmission may be suppressed to balance bandwidth with need for multicast data. Multicast data packets may be retransmitted downstream to fulfill requests indicated by the reports at a rate and/or frequency based on multicast packet duplication or redundancy. Information, such as broken links or “leave” packets, may indicate that one or more downstream nodes should be removed from a forwarding state. However such removal may impact other nodes. A query may be transmitted downstream, to determine if retransmission/forwarding of multicast retransmissions should continue. Query transmission may be based on a balance between query bandwidth consumption and the needs of downstream nodes.
