Method and apparatus for application server change are disclosed. A method comprises obtaining information on application server change for an application when server changes to a target application server; and making decision to inform UE to rediscover the target application server for the application or configure UPF to steer traffic to and from the target application server for the application

This application provides a data transmission method and an electronic device. The method includes: Each electronic device may form a network topology relationship in advance. A first electronic device and a second electronic device may directly transmit first data based on path information determined based on network topology relationship.

Methods and systems for managing a premises are described. A premises or devices at a premises may be associated with one or more premises zones. The one or more premises zones may be associated with corresponding content. If data is received from a device associated with a particular premises zone, then the content may be output. The content may be used to notify a user of an event, state change, or other indication associated with the particular premises zone.

Devices, networks, systems and methods for coordinating industrial control and monitoring communications on multi-path radio frequency transmission mesh networks include establishing path metrics allowing a respective comparison of a plurality of available communication paths between neighboring radios communicating in the mesh network. Replies to route requests may be delayed based on the path metrics of available paths for message transmission to ensure that the best available connection routes through the mesh network can be understood and utilized.

A portable encoded information reading (EIR) terminal for incorporation in a data collection system can comprise a terminal module communicatively coupled to a wireless interface module via a wired interface. The terminal module can include a central processing unit (CPU), a memory, and an encoded information reading (EIR) device. The wireless interface module can include a microcontroller, a memory, and at least one wireless communication interface. The wireless interface module can establish one or more wireless links with one or more peer EIR terminals, to join a wireless network which is collectively formed by the peer EIR terminals. The wireless interface module can receive or transmit beacons containing at least an identifier of a path selection protocol which is used for unicast, multicast and broadcast frame transmission within the wireless network.

A protective wiring device disposed in an electrical distribution system, the device comprising: a plurality of line terminals comprising a line-side phase terminal and a line-side neutral terminal; a plurality of load terminals comprising a load-side phase terminal and a load-side neutral terminal; a line conductor electrically coupling the line-side phase terminal to the load-side phase terminal; a neutral conductor electrically coupling the line-side neutral terminal to the load-side neutral terminal; a controller configured to transmit wirelessly data derived from signals present on at least one of the line conductor or the neutral conductor and to receive wirelessly receive at least one command.

In one embodiment, a device in a mesh network joins a source-destination oriented partial directed acyclic graph (SDO-PDAG) between a source node and a destination node in the network. The device receives operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) packets flooded along reverse paths of the SDO-PDAG. The device determines, based on the received OAM packets, packet drop rate (PDR) capacities of different paths between the device and the destination node. The device replicates a data packet sent from the source node to the destination node along two or more of the paths between the device and the destination node, based on the determined PDR capacities of those paths.
