    摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed for adjusting a transmission power level of a transceiver (12, 15) at a utility meter data origination site (10). A power level of transmission at the site transceiver (12, 15) is adjusted to an optimum level if an acknowledgement is not received from a network gateway (30) in response to data transmissions from the site transceiver (12, 15). Also, for each unsuccessful transmission period, the amount of metering data is increased in the next transmission period to make up for the failed communication tries. Upon establishing communication with the gateway (30), the site transceiver (12, 15) can receive commands from the gateway (30) that further adjust its power level of transmission to optimize reception at the gateway from a large plurality of utility meter data origination sites (10) within a geographical area served by the gateway (30). The gateway (30) communicates utility metering data through a wireless network (40), such as WIFI, GPRS, POE or CDMA to a data collection center (50) for data processing and billing operations.

    摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed for prioritizing the processing of messages sent between site transceivers (12, 15) at utility meter data origination sites (10) and gateway transceivers (20, 30, 40) in a fixed meter data collection network. To reduce message processing time, priorities are assigned for processing messages destined for mobile gateways, messages sent to assigned gateways, and messages sent to any gateway after not receiving an acknowledge signal from an assigned gateway. The gateway transceiver also has four receivers for processing four respective messages on four different frequency channels to further reduce processing time and to conserve power usage at the site transceivers.

    摘要： An antenna assembly (10) for RF communication of signals representing utility meter data. The antenna assembly (10) comprises a first conductor (30) forming at least a portion of an antenna radiating element, a second conductor (28), and a dielectric (34) disposed between the first conductor (30) and the second conductor (28), such that the first conductor (30), the second conductor (28) and the dielectric (34) form a capacitor. The antenna assembly (10) further comprises an inductance (36) in cascade with the capacitor to provide a selected L-C circuit impedance in relation to the antenna radiating element. The second conductor (28) is disposed opposite to the first conductor (30) and at least one of the first and second conductors (28, 30) is movable from a first to a second position to adjust the capacitance of the L-C circuit to a selected frequency of operation.
