Abstract
Aspects of the invention provide for a mesh network management system. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed having: at least one computing device adapted to manage a wireless mesh network by performing the actions comprising: sending data including a plurality of fragments over a network to a plurality of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) nodes, wherein the data is sent a predetermined number of times; receiving, from the plurality of AMI nodes, a message regarding the plurality of fragments of the data; and sending, in response to receiving the message, fragments of the data that were not received by the plurality of AMI nodes.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one computing device adapted to manage a wireless mesh network by performing the actions comprising:
- sending data including a plurality of fragments over a network to a plurality of mesh network nodes, wherein the data is sent a predetermined number of times and wherein the predetermined number is at least two;
- receiving, from the plurality of mesh network nodes, a message regarding the plurality of fragments of the data after the data including the plurality of fragments is sent the predetermined number of times;
- and
- sending, in response to receiving the message, fragments of the data that were not received by the plurality of mesh network nodes.
A program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, which when executed by at least one computing device, performs the following:
- sends data including a plurality of fragments over a network to a plurality of mesh network nodes, wherein the data is sent a predetermined number of times and wherein the predetermined number is at least two;
- receives, from the plurality of mesh network nodes, a message regarding the plurality of fragments of the data after the data including the plurality of fragments is sent the predetermined number of times;
- and
- sends, in response to receiving the message, fragments of the data that were not received by the plurality of mesh network nodes.
A system comprising:
- at least one computing device adapted to manage a wireless mesh network by performing the actions comprising:
- broadcasting data including a plurality of fragments over a network to a plurality of mesh network nodes, wherein the data is sent a predetermined number of times and wherein the predetermined number is at least two;
- receiving, from the plurality of mesh network nodes, a message regarding the plurality of fragments of the data after the data including the plurality of fragments is sent the predetermined number of times;
- and
- broadcasting, in response to receiving the message, fragments of the data that were not received by the plurality of mesh network nodes.
