Abstract
Methods and devices for a home power networking system including a first wireless access point (AP) configured to perform wired communications over a first circuit connected to the first wireless AP. The first wireless AP further performs wireless communications with a second wireless AP, wherein the second wireless access point is connected to a second circuit and is not connected to the first circuit. The first wireless AP provides wireless transport through the second wireless AP to bridge communications between the first circuit and the second circuit.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor coupled to a non-transitory computer-readable memory medium,
- wherein the processor is configured to execute program instructions stored on the memory medium to cause a first wireless access point to:
- perform wired communications using a wired transceiver over a first circuit connected to the first wireless access point;
- perform wireless communications using a wireless transceiver with a second wireless access point, wherein the second wireless access point is connected via a second wired transceiver to a second circuit which is at least partially communicatively insulated from the first circuit;
- and
- provide wireless transport of packets through the second wireless access point to bridge communications between the first circuit and the second circuit, wherein in bridging communications between the first and second circuits, the first wireless access point is configured to provide an alien bridge from a wired domain of the first circuit and a wireless domain including the second wireless access point.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor coupled to a non-transitory computer-readable memory medium,
- wherein the processor is configured to execute program instructions stored on the memory medium to cause a first wireless access point to:
- using a wired transceiver, establish communication between the first wireless access point and a second wireless access point using an alien bridge comprised within the first wireless access point through a wired domain associated with a circuit,
- wherein the first and second wireless access points are wired to the circuit, and wherein the first wireless access point is out of wireless communication range with the second wireless access point,
- wherein in establishing communication between the first wireless access point and the second wireless access point through the wired domain associated with the circuit, the program instructions are further executable to cause the first wireless access point to:
- provide the alien bridge from the wired domain associated with the circuit to a wireless domain associated with the second wireless access point.

- perform wireless communications using a wireless transceiver with a third wireless access point, wherein the third wireless access point is connected to a second circuit and is at least partially communicatively insulated from the first circuit;
- and
- provide transport through the second and third wireless access points to bridge communications between a first wireless domain of the second wireless access point and the second circuit through the wired domain associated with the first circuit, wherein in bridging communications between the first wireless domain of the second wireless access point and the second circuit, the first wireless access point is configured to provide an alien bridge from the wired domain associated with the first circuit and a second wireless domain of the third wireless access point.
