Abstract
An example device includes a first transceiver for a first type of network. The device includes a second transceiver for a second type of network. The device includes at least one processor core coupled to the first transceiver and the second transceiver, the at least one processor core configurable to, responsive to determining that the device may operate in the first type of network and the second type of network: receive, via the first transceiver, a message of the first type of network; and transmit, via the second transceiver, the message.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a first transceiver for a first type of network;
- a second transceiver for a second type of network;
- and
- at least one processor core coupled to the first transceiver and the second transceiver, the at least one processor core configurable to, responsive to determining that the device may operate in the first type of network and the second type of network:
- receive, via the first transceiver, a message of the first type of network;
- and
- transmit, via the second transceiver, the message.
4 more elements
A meter comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor core coupled to the transceiver, the at least one processor core configurable to:
- monitor, via the transceiver, a first device for periodic heartbeat messages;
- and
- responsive to failing to receive a threshold number of the heartbeat messages, transmit, via the transceiver, a non-configured advertisement to join a network via a second device.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- responsive to determining that a device is capable of operating in a first type of network and a second type of network:
- receiving, via a second transceiver over the second type of network, a message to manage the first type of network;
- and
- transmitting, via a first transceiver over the first type of network, the message to a participant device of the first type of network responsive to determining that the message includes a device address assigned to the participant device.
