Methods of channel allocation for devices using different communication protocols

#A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.

#This disclosure relates generally to a method, system and apparatus for multiple nodes using multi-standard communications in wireless networks. More specifically, disclosed are systems and methods that enable wireless communications for devices using different wireless transmission protocols.

#The success of user devices (e.g., computing devices such as computers, cameras, appliances, etc.) may be substantially determined by their ability to communicate with other user devices and the World Wide Web. For example, in a conceptual environment (e.g., Internet of Things (IoT)), devices can communicate with each other and the World Wide Web via various communication protocols. The conceptual environment may include, but is not limited to, home automation, health care, emergency response, intelligent shopping, smart product management, environmental sensing, smart meters, waste management, and urban planning.

#In order to describe the manner in which the above-recited and other advantages and features of the disclosure can be obtained, a more particular description of the principles briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific examples thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only exemplary examples of the disclosure and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting of its scope, the principles herein are described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:

#FIG. 1 illustrates an example channel definition of a wireless spectrum in accordance with various examples;

#FIG. 2 illustrates an example wireless hub and nodes in accordance with various examples;

#Systems and methods in accordance with various examples of the present disclosure may overcome one or more of the foregoing or other deficiencies experienced in conventional approaches for wireless communication. In particular, various examples or examples may be implemented in numerous ways, including as a system, a process, an apparatus, a user interface, or a series of program instructions on a computer readable medium such as a computer readable storage medium or a computer network where the program instructions are sent over optical, electronic, or wireless communication links. In general, operations of disclosed processes may be performed in an arbitrary order, unless otherwise provided in the claims.

#A detailed description of one or more examples is provided below along with accompanying figures. The detailed description is provided in connection with such examples, but is not limited to any particular example. The scope is limited only by the claims and numerous alternatives, modifications, and equivalents are encompassed. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding. These details are provided for the purpose of example and the described techniques may be practiced according to the claims without some or all of these specific details. For clarity, technical material that is known in the technical fields related to the examples has not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the description.

#The future of user devices may be influenced by their corresponding ability to communicate to other user devices and the World Wide Web. In this way, most user devices (e.g., TVs, appliances, lightings, etc.) may have sensors, actuators, and transceivers and have the ability to communicate with each other. For various applications such as home automation devices can make decisions based on information they receive from other devices without the involvement of the network owner. For instance, the coffee maker can start making coffee when the motion sensor detects movement near the kitchen in the morning time, or the hallway lights turn on before the front door is open. All “things” that we deal with on a daily basis can become smart and make our lives easier. To achieve this, it is desired that these devices are capable of communicating wirelessly with each other.
