Abstract
A system of transmitting of data packets within a network is described. The network includes at least one device transmitting short communication messages and another device transmitting standard communication message. The network also includes an array of wireless network routers communicating in a tree-shaped logical structure with one router including a receiver for the short communication messages. The receiver accepts the short communication message in a round robin manner from client wherein each short communication message is received at a designated time period. A single buffered packet is formed from the combined short communication messages and sent using the tree-shaped network.
Claims20
A system of transmitting of data packets within a network comprising:
- at least one device transmitting at least one short communication message;
- at least one device transmitting at least one standard communication message;
- an array of wireless network routers communicating in a tree-shaped logical structure;
- at least one of said wireless network routers comprising a chirp receiver for the at least one short communication message;
- and
- at least one of said wireless network routers comprising a standard receiver for at least one standard-length communication message;
- wherein said chirp receiver accepts said short communication message in a round robin manner from client devices associated with said chirp receiver, wherein each short communication message is received at a designated time period;
- wherein said short communication messages are buffered until all messages are received from all clients and a single buffered packet is formed from the combined short communication messages;
- and
- wherein each wireless network router further comprises an uplink function connecting said wireless network router to another wireless network router in the tree or an external ip-based network;
- a downlink function connecting said wireless network router to other wireless network routers within said tree;
- and a scanning function wherein the uplink function and the downlink function connect the wireless network routers participating in the system in a tree-based virtual switch and wherein said buffered packet is sent using the three-shaped virtual switch.

A system of transmitting of data packets within a network comprising:
- at least one device transmitting at least one short communication message having metadata attached to said communication message;
- an array of wireless network routers communicating in a tree-shaped logical structure;
- and
- at least one of said wireless network routers comprising a chirp receiver for the at least one short communication message;
- wherein said chirp receiver accepts said short communication message in a round robin manner from client devices associated with said chirp receiver, wherein each short communication message is received at a designated time period;
- wherein said short communication messages are buffered until all messages are received from all clients and at least one buffered packet is formed from the combined short communication messages;
- wherein each wireless network router further comprises an uplink function connecting said wireless network router to another wireless network router in the tree or an external ip-based network;
- a downlink function connecting said wireless network router to other wireless network routers within said tree;
- and a scanning function wherein the uplink function and the downlink function connect the wireless network routers participating in the system in a tree-based virtual switch;
- wherein said buffered packet is sent using the uplink function of said wireless network router through the three-shaped network.

- an array of wireless network routers communicating in a tree-shaped logical structure;
- at least one of said wireless network routers comprising a chirp receiver for the at least one short communication message;
- wherein said chirp receiver accepts said short communication message from client devices associated with said chirp receiver, wherein each short communication message is received along with its metadata and wherein said short communication message is published to a local control loop;
- and
- wherein each wireless network router further comprises an uplink function connecting said wireless network router to another wireless network router in the tree or an external ip-based network;
- a downlink function connecting said wireless network router to other wireless network routers within said tree;
- and a scanning function wherein the uplink function and the downlink function connect the wireless network routers participating in the system in a tree-based virtual switch.
